Chronic diarrhea unveiled by colonoscopy. | LitMetric

Chronic diarrhea unveiled by colonoscopy.

Rev Esp Enferm Dig

Gastroenterology, Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

Published: February 2025

A 62-year-old woman from Bogotá, Colombia, had chronic diarrhea for 4 years. The diarrhea was lienteric, occurring day and night, with mucus but no blood. She had no significant weight loss, abdominal pain, or other systemic symptoms, and no notable medical history. Initial stool tests showed leukocytes and blood but no parasites. Routine lab tests were normal. Due to the chronic symptoms and nocturnal diarrhea, a colonoscopy was performed. It revealed numerous mobile, white worms in the right colon, identified as Trichuris trichiura, causing friable mucosa. She was diagnosed with trichuriasis, or human whipworm infection.

Malabsorption is a complex and multifaceted condition characterised by the defective passage of nutrients into the blood and lymphatic streams. Several congenital or acquired disorders may cause either selective or global malabsorption in both children and adults, such as cystic fibrosis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), coeliac disease (CD) and other enteropathies, lactase deficiency, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), autoimmune atrophic gastritis, Crohn's disease, and gastric or small bowel resections. Early recognition of malabsorption is key for tailoring a proper diagnostic work-up for identifying the cause of malabsorption.

Chronic Enteropathy and Vitamins in Dogs.

Animals (Basel)

February 2025

Nagaya Animal Medical Center, Nagoya 468-0024, Aichi, Japan.

Chronic enteropathy (CE) or chronic inflammatory enteropathy is a group of diseases with multiple and different etiologies characterized by chronic gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, weight loss for more than 3 weeks, and inflammatory cell infiltration, such as lymphoplasmacytic cells in the intestinal mucosal lamina propria. The diagnosis was histologically confirmed after excluding other diseases such as parasitic infections, tumors, pancreatitis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, metabolic diseases, and endocrine diseases, such as hypoadrenocorticism. Nutritional management depends on several important functions, such as digestion and absorption processes, digestive enzymes and nutritional transporters, and barrier functions.
