We treated a patient with a jejunal diverticulum with a rare complication of iron deficiency anemia. The anemia was improved following resection of the diverticulum. It was revealed that the iron deficiency anemia was due to the malabsorption caused by the jejunal diverticulum.
Sequential changes of gastrointestinal radiology are described in a case of Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection. Duodenal dilatation, reflux of barium into the biliary and pancreatic duct, and mucosal thickening of the small intestine were the striking features before treatment. Although treatment with thiabendazole led to rapid and complete clearance of rhabditiform larvae, some abnormal radiologic changes in the small intestine persisted for approximately 4 months before the mucosal pattern reverted to normal.
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.
