摘要:

&NA;A case of progressive systemic sclerosis associated with colonic involvement is described. Barium‐enema examination revealed segmental involvement. Colonoscopic examination of the whole range of the involved colon revealed wide‐mouthed diverticula with interspersed rigid areas and numerous ulcerations. These colonoscopic findings appeared to be distinct from those associated with tuberculosis and Crohn's disease.

摘要:

&NA;The possibility of giardiasis should be considered in any case in which the patient has watery diarrhea and malabsorption syndrome. Investigation should include examination of at least three separate fecal specimens forGiardia lamblis. In case of negative results, this examination should be followed by aspiration of duodenal contents to search for the trophozoites. Treatment with metronidazole in the case reported resulted in a good clinical response, with disappearance of the patient's chronic diarrhea and intestinal malabsorption.

摘要:

&NA;Actinomycosis is a chronic, suppurative, mycotic infection, which tends to form abscesses and fistulas. The organism is a saprophyte of the human mouth. When a break in the normal contiguity of the gastrointestinal tract occurs, the organism may gain access to the surrounding tissues and become almost impossible to eradicate without surgical extirpation and administration of a long course of antibiotics. The diagnosis of actinomycosis should be considered for any patient in whom persistent or unusual enterocutaneous fistulas develop, when there is a recent history of perforated viscus or surgical intervention involving the gastrointestinal tract, such as appendectomy. The diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of “sulfur granules” in the fistulous tracts.

摘要:

&NA;Two cases of Fourier's gangrene in which toxemia and gangrene of the scrotum developed due to perianal abscesses are described. Cultures of anaerobic gram‐negativeBacteroideswith a mixed flora ofPseudomonas, E. coliandProteuswere obtained. Early diagnosis, wide and deep incisions, debridement of the necrotic tissue, and adequate antibiotic therapy can prevent a fatal outcome of this disease. A high mortality rate is still prevalent.

摘要:

&NA;The case of an 18‐year‐old mentally retarded boy who had long standing idiopathic megacolon and pica is presented. Acute toxic dilatation of the colon complicating pseudomembranous colitis developed, with a rapidly fatal outcome. No similar case of relatively benign idiopathic megacolon complicated by pseudomembranous colitis and toxic megacolon has been reported. The pathophysiology of this rare combination is discussed.
