as regional ileitis, ileitis-terminalis, regional enteritis, non-specific granuloma, inflammatory tumour of the small intestine, chronic cicatrizing enteritis, localized hypertrophic enteritis, localized chronic ulcerative ileitis, and ' Crohn's disease \ It is surprising to note that so far the disease has not been mentioned in Indian medical literature, and no reference has been made to such ...

Eosinophilic enteritis is a rare disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the bowel wall to a variable depth and symptoms associated with gastrointestinal tract depending upon the predominant layer involved. Diagnosis of eosinophilic enteritis requires a high index of suspicion and exclusion of various disorders that are associated with peripheral eosinop...

Arthritis occurred in 4 5 per cent. of 600 patients with regional enteritis reviewed by Van Patter, Bargen, Dockerty, Feldman, Mayo, and Waugh (1954). Ford and Vallis (1959) described four cases of arthritis in regional enteritis and suggested that it was similar in nature to the arthritis associated with ulcerative colitis (Bywaters and Ansell, 1958). The present study was undertaken to invest...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder which can affect multiple organs and clinical presentation is often a myriad of symptoms; therefore, the index of suspicion should rise when evaluating patients with multiorgan symptomatology. Lupus enteritis is a distinct subset of SLE, defined as either vasculitis or inflammation of the small bowel, with supportive image and/or biop...

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of glutamine in treating radiation enteritis in cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. METHODS Electronic databases including Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane library, and CNKI were systematically searched, until April 2016. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) of glutamine in the treatment of radiation enteritis in cancer patients were...

Results In the study period 3,929 patients with AD (with 353 positive cases) presented to the Infectious Diseases Hospital out of which 2,550 children (with 301 positive cases) and 1,371 adults (with 52 positive cases). In children rotavirus enteritis ranked first in the etiology of infectious enteritis with a confirmed etiology of 62% over the entire period (186 cases) with a peak incidence in...

OBJECTIVE Glutamine has been proposed as a preventive treatment for toxicity related to cancer therapies. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of glutamine in the prevention of radiation enteritis. METHODS A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial was performed including 69 patients who were assigned to receive either glutamine (Gln, 30 g/d) or placebo while they were receiving a...

A surveillance of the clinical manifestations, course and outcome of 261 patients with gastrointestinal infection by Yersinia enterocolitica between 1982 and 1991 was carried out. Acute uncomplicated enteritis was diagnosed in 169 patients, complicated enteritis in 37, appendicular syndrome in 33, ileitis in 8 and colitis in 14. Children (age < 16 years, n = 105) presented most often with mild ...

A novel toxin, NetB, has recently been identified in virulent avian Clostridium perfringens isolates and shown to be an essential virulence factor in a clinical necrotic enteritis isolate. To assess whether NetB is more generally associated with avian necrotic enteritis isolates we have screened a range of C. perfringens strains from geographically diverse locations for both the presence and ex...

OBJECTIVES Campylobacter jejuni enteritis can lead to musculoskeletal, neuropathic or other health sequelae. We investigated the coexistence, seasonal occurrence, strain-type associations and impact on work capacity of different health problems following C. jejuni enteritis in a Lancashire population during 1999 and 2001. METHODS A semistructured questionnaire was used to characterize health ...
