Fecal microbiota filtrate transfer is discussed as a safe alternative to fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) to treat ulcerative colitis. We investigated modulation of viral and bacterial composition during fecal microbiota filtrate transfer followed by FMT in six patients with active ulcerative colitis (where clinical activity improved in three patients after filtrate transfer) and combined 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing with a virome analysis pipeline including fast viral particle enrichment and metagenome mapping to detect frequencies of 45,033 reference bacteriophage genomes. We showed that after antibiotic treatment and during filtrate transfer, the bacterial community typically adopted a stable composition distinct to that before antibiotic treatment, with no change toward a donor community.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are de novo ectopic lymphoid aggregates that regulate immunity in chronically inflamed tissues, including tumours. Although TLSs form due to inflammation-triggered activation of the lymphotoxin (LT)-LTβ receptor (LTβR) pathway, the inflammatory signals and cells that induce TLSs remain incompletely identified. Here we show that interleukin-33 (IL-33), the alarmin released by inflamed tissues, induces TLSs.

Background: Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (CAEBV) colitis is a rare disease with clinical and endoscopic manifestations very similar to those of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In clinical practice, it is easy to be misdiagnosed and mistreated, leading to poor clinical outcomes.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 56-year-old Chinese woman who presented with 6 years of intermittent severe diarrhea, fever, and abdominal pain.

Background: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an immunosuppressant commonly used for treating autoimmune diseases.
Case Presentation: We report a diagnostically challenging case of MMF-induced colitis in a patient after 3 years of initiation of MMF therapy. A 76-year-old Caucasian female with a history of Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy receiving MMF presented to the hospital with a 7-weeks history of watery diarrhoea and crampy abdominal pains.
