AI Article Synopsis
- A man in his 60s with a history of ulcerative colitis (UC) was found to have a deep ulcer at the end of the ileum after being in clinical remission.
- The patient also displayed moderate active UC symptoms in the rectum.
- Treatment with azathioprine and infliximab (IFX) was initiated, leading to successful scarring of the ulcer, highlighting a rare instance of a simple ulcer associated with UC and the effectiveness of IFX.
Article Abstract
We present a case of a man in his 60s who had been in clinical remission of ulcerative colitis (UC) after treatment with 5ASA. Over the clinical course, he developed an isolated deep ulcer at the end of the ileum. There were moderate active UC findings in the rectum. We diagnosed a simple ulcer associated with UC and started treatment with azathioprine and infliximab (IFX). Shortly after the treatment, the ulcer began to scar. We report a rare case of a simple ulcer that accompanied UC, and for which IFX was effective.

Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a very uncommon type of CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma, and it very rarely affects the forehead. We report the case of a 68-year-old male presenting with an ulcerative lesion on the right forehead, initially suspected as a benign condition. Fine needle aspiration suggested a lymphoproliferative disorder, with biopsy and immunohistochemistry confirming primary cutaneous ALCL (CD30-positive, anaplastic lymphoma kinase [ALK]-negative).

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), often results in significant morbidity among patients with moderate to severe forms. While biologics and small molecules are effective in inducing remission, many patients experience refractory disease or extraintestinal manifestations. This study assesses the safety and efficacy of dual-targeted therapy in IBD patients treated at the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center.

, a slow-growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, causes Buruli ulcer, a neglected tropical disease. Distinguishing from related species, including , poses challenges with respect to making accurate identifications. In this study, we developed a rapid and simple identification method based on mycobacterial lipid profiles and used matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to analyze the lipid profiles of ( = 35) and ( = 19) isolates.

Background: Glanders and melioidosis are contagious zoonotic diseases caused by Burkholderia mallei and B. pseudomallei, respectively. Bacterial isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have been used to detect these bacteria in animals suspected of infection; however, both methods require skilled experimental techniques and expensive equipment.
