Infectious diarrhea is common in cases of ulcerative colitis (UC), caused by resistance to treatment. In particular, it has been associated with cytomegalovirus or infection has rarely been observed in human beings, but has never been seen in immunocompetent patients. We report a case of intestinal infection presenting as acute diarrhea in a patient with a 10-year history of UC who was never treated with immunosuppressants.
The persistence of contrast agent signal in the wash-out phase of CEUS appears to reflect a disturbance of perfusion in glomerular capillaries in the early stages of GN. We found that the histological element directly correlated with the prolonged wash-out was mesangial hyperplasia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
