aim : to assess the clinical characteristic of cd as well as correlation of symptoms and the degrees of intestinal mucosal lesions in iranian children. background : microscopic enteritis (marsh 0-ii) is associated with malabsorption. patients and methods : from august 2005 to september 2009, 111 cases with malabsorption and classical gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated. results : the mean ...

Lawsonia intracellularis is not culturable with a standard bacteriologic culture. One step PCR assay as a clinical diagnostic method was developed for the rapid detection of porcine proliferative enteritis (PPE) caused by L. intracellularis. Primers were designed based on the p78 DNA clone of L. intracellularis. The one step PCR resulted in the formation of a specific 210-bp DNA product derived...

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced injury on gastrointestinal tract is well documented, and jejunal inflammation caused by indomethacin in rats is a broadly used experimental model of enteritis. We evaluated the effect of oral curcumin, a compound known to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, on indomethacin-induced enteritis in the rat. Curcumin (50, 100, and...

  A vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops) housed at quarantine of Razi vaccine and serum research institute died following a few days of sickness. Multiple abscesses on the surface and inside the liver and enlargement of spleen with pinpoint white spot were the most prominent macroscopic features. We examined the organs of the dead monkey and Yersinia enterocolitica was isolated. In histopatho...

An enteritis, based on a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction, was induced in TNBS (2,4,4-trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid) sensitized rats by multiple intrajejunal challenge with TNBS via an implanted catheter. This treatment induced chronic inflammation of the distal small intestine characterized by intense hyperaemia, oedema and gut wall thickening as assessed by macroscopic scoring and weigh...

We present a patient who, over the course of 35 years, presented with repeated episodes of ileus and melena and was misdiagnosed several times, leading to several surgeries. Macroscopic and microscopic features of his resected intestine were compatible with cryptogenic multifocal ulcerous stenosis enteritis (CMUSE), but additional angioectatic lesions were also noted. The patient responded dram...

Necrotic enteritis has until recently been considered an infections disease of swine caused by the micro-organism Salmonella eholeraesuis. Lately, however, the relation of swine nutrition to the development of this disease has been given prominent attention. The results of investigations now in progress in different sections of the country may clarify the question of the cause of the disease. N...

Lupus enteritis is a rare presentation of systemic lupus erythematous, clinically manifested by abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Proper diagnosis treatment are essential to avoid complications, including death. Here, the authors report case 52-year-old White female who presented with pain chronic diarrhoea, diagnostic tests compatible enteritis. Such condition an uncommon manifestation ...
