TY - JOUR. T1 - Metachronous occurrence of collagenous colitis and ulcerative colitis. AU - Giardiello, Francis M. AU - Jackson, F. W.. AU - Lazenby, A. J.. PY - 1991. Y1 - 1991. N2 - Collagenous colitis and ulcerative colitis are distinct disorders. A 67 year old woman with clinical and histological evidence of collagenous colitis had an abrupt symptomatic exacerbation while taking anti-inflammatory treatment with sulphasalazine and prednisone. Repeat colorectal endoscopy showed active mucosal inflammation and colonic biopsy specimens were consistent with active ulcerative colitis. After bowel rest, total parenteral nutrition, intensification of the anti-inflammatory regimen, and withdrawal of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (which she had taken continuously for osteoarthritis) diarrhoea abated. Colorectal biopsy specimens obtained when the patients symptoms had improved showed inactive ulcerative colitis with no evidence of collagenous colitis. This may be the first case to be reported ...

Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis and cause of the increased subepithelial collagen deposition that occurs in patients with collagenous colitis, a rare disease of unknown cause. One hypothesis considers an inflammatory origin, and the other, a local abnormality of collagen synthesis. An analysis of clinical, endoscopic, and histologic findings from one of our patients and from previously published cases suggests that collagenous colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by localization of the initial injury to the superficial subepithelial zone and with subsequent fibrosis in that area. The data show a spectrum of clinical and histologic changes that represent different stages in the evolution of the inflammatory process. ...

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term budesonide therapy for maintenance of clinical remission in patients with collagenous colitis.. Design: Randomised, placebo-controlled study with a 24-week, blinded follow-up period without any treatment.. Setting: Three gastroenterology clinics in Denmark.. Patients: Forty-two patients with histologically-confirmed collagenous colitis and diarrhoea (,3 stools/day).. Interventions: Patients in clinical remission after 6 weeks open-label therapy with oral budesonide (Entocort CIR capsules, 9 mg/day) received 24 weeks double-blind maintenance therapy with budesonide 6 mg/day or placebo. Thereafter, patients entered the 24-week, blinded follow-up period.. Main outcome measure: Proportion of patients in clinical remission (≤3 stools/day) at the end of maintenance therapy.. Findings: A total of 34 patients in remission at week 6 were randomised to budesonide 6 mg/day (n = 17) or placebo (n = 17). After 24 weeks maintenance treatment, ...

Collagenous gastritis is an extremely rare disorder and little is known about its aetiopathogenesis and natural history. The three previous reports described this condition (a) in isolation,1(b) with synchronous lymphocytic colitis,2 and (c) with synchronous collagenous colitis and collagenous duodenitis.3 This is the first report of a case presenting initially with collagenous gastritis and subsequently with features of collagenous colitis.. The clinical, endoscopic, and histological features in our case are similar to those described by Colletti and Trainer.1 Both patients were young and presented with epigastric pain and gastrointestinal bleeding. Our patient, however, presented with chronic anaemia which did not improve with H2 receptor blockers, antihelminthic treatment, and iron supplements, suggesting chronic blood loss. This was unlike the acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding seen in the patient described by Colletti and Trainer. Our endoscopic finding of gastric nodularity had been ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: It is not known whether lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis represent different clinical entities or constitute part of a spectrum of disease. METHODS: Detailed clinical features and histological findings were compared in a large series of patients with confirmed lymphocytic and collagenous colitis. RESULTS: Histological diagnosis was confirmed in 96 patients with collagenous colitis and 80 with lymphocytic colitis. Twenty eight per cent of patients with collagenous colitis and 26% of patients with lymphocytic colitis had overlapping but less pronounced histological features. Both groups were equal in terms of age, use of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, associated autoimmune conditions, arthritis, diarrhoea, ...

MC is an inflammatory condition of the large bowel that is associated with chronic, nonbloody diarrhea with a grossly normal-appearing colonoscopy, and it is diagnosed by tissue biopsy. MC can be further classified into 2 distinct classes: LC and collagenous colitis (CC). The histopathological criteria for CC include a thickened subepithelial collagen layer of at least 10 µm, inflammation in the lamina propria with lymphocytes and plasma cells, and epithelial damage. The criteria for LC is a density of at least 20 intraepithelial lymphocytes per 100 surface epithelial cells, epithelial damage, and a subepithelial collagen layer of less than 10 µm.4 While the etiology remains obscure, the most common theories suggest that MC results from immune system activation in the colonic mucosa after exposure to antigenic factors, including toxins, infections, and medications. Commonly reported associations include autoimmune-based disorders such as celiac disease, thyroid disease, and rheumatoid ...

Abstract Background and Aims Diarrhoea is a common, debilitating symptom of gastrointestinal disorders. Pathomechanisms probably involve defects in trans-epithelial water transport, but the role of aquaporin [AQP] family water channels in diarrhoea-predominant diseases is unknown. We investigated the involvement of AQPs in the pathobiology of collagenous colitis [CC], which features chronic, watery diarrhoea despite overtly normal intestinal epithelial cells [IECs]. Methods We assessed the expression of all AQP family members in mucosal samples of CC patients before and during treatment with the corticosteroid drug budesonide, steroid-refractory CC patients and healthy controls. Samples were analysed by genome-wide mRNA sequencing [RNA-seq] and quantitative real-time PCR [qPCR]. In some patients, we performed tissue microdissection followed by RNA-seq to explore the IEC-specific CC transcriptome. We determined changes in the protein levels of the lead candidates

Mucosal atrophy as a potential cause of impaired colonic compliance has not yet been described as a complication in Collagenous Colitis (CC). We present a 51-year-old female patient with a 20-year history of diarrhea and diagnosed with CC ten years prior to her presentation. We reviewed reports from three colonoscopies performed after the diagnosis. Overall 12 biopsies obtained in the last two colonoscopies were re-analyzed by two pathologists blinded to the aim of the study. Besides the typical histological findings of CC, the endoscopic appearance was normal, and no histological signs of atrophy were found during the first colonoscopy. Surprisingly, the second and third colonoscopy revealed a region of advanced segmental mucosal atrophy in the cecum with the mucosal height normalizing toward the transverse colon. This pattern of atrophy was inversely related to the pattern of sub-epithelial collagen deposition, which increased toward the rectum. If no chance occurrence, our observation supports the

Microscopic colitis Evidence for the indication microscopic (collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis) is presented below.. Collagenous colitis:. Two randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled induction studies of six and eight weeks duration investigated the clinical and histological effect of Entocort 9 mg/day in the treatment of collagenous colitis. In the first study, 23 patients were randomised to Entocort 9 mg/day and 22 patients to placebo for 6 weeks. The rate of clinical remission was significantly higher (p,0.001) in the Entocort group than in the placebo group 86.9% vs. 13.6%. Histologic improvement was observed in 14 patients of the Entocort group (60.9%) and in one patient of the placebo group (4.5%; p,0.001). In the second study, 10 patients were randomised to Entocort for 8 weeks (9 mg/day 4 weeks, 6 mg/day 2 weeks, and 3 mg/day 2 weeks) and ten to placebo. All 10 patients receiving Entocort had a clinical response compared with two in the placebo group (p,0.001).. Two ...

Answer: Collagenous colitis. Histologic Description: While the area of perforation demonstrated prominent granulation tissue, the surrounding bowel demonstrates increased lamia propria plasma cells, along with increased intraepithelial lymphocytes with epithelial damage. Close inspection reveals that the subepithelial basement membrane is thickened, and has an irregular border with the underlying lamina propria. These are the typical features of collagenous colitis.. Differential Diagnosis: Ulcerative colitis would be associated with more prominent crypt distortion and frequently active colitis. Infectious colitis would typically have an active colitis pattern, and would lack the prominent intraepithelial lymphocytes of the current case along with thickened basement membrane. Lymphocytic colitis is very similar to collagenous colitis in that both are microscopic findings seen in patients with watery diarrhea whose colonoscopies are grossly normal, but it is distinguished by the absence of a ...

Answer: A. Histologic Description: The bowel wall is markedly thickened with prominent submucosal edema. There are patchy areas of mucosal necrosis over which there is a luminal pseudomembrane composed of fibrin, mucus, neutrophils, and dead intestinal epithelial cells. There is fibrin in the lamina propria. Elsewhere, the bowel is edematous but there is no evidence of crypt distortion, granuloma or thickened basement membranes. These are the typical features of pseudomembranous colitis. Differential Diagnosis: Ulcerative colitis and Crohns disease would be associated with chronic inflammatory changes, including crypt distortion, basal plasmacytosis, and in the case of Crohns disease noncaseating granulomas. None of these are present in the current case. Collagenous colitis would be associated with increased subepithelial collagen, and an uncomplicated case would not show the acute inflammatory changes seen here. The differential diagnosis for the pseudomembranous colitis pattern includes C. ...

Objective. The association between smoking and idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease is well known; smoking seems to have a diverse effect. Crohns disease is associated with smoking, while ulcerative colitis is associated with non-smoking. Data on smoking inmicroscopic colitis of the collagenous type (CC) are lacking. The aim of this investigation was to study smoking habits in CC and to observe whether smoking had any impact on the course of the disease. Materials and methods. 116 patients (92 women) with median age of 62 years (interquartile range 55-73) answered questionnaires covering demographic data, smoking habits and disease activity. As control group we used data from the general population in Sweden retrieved from Statistics Sweden, the central bureau for national socioeconomic information. Results. Of the 116 CC patients, 37% were smokers compared with 17% of controls (p andlt; 0.001, odds ratio (OR) 2.95). In the age group 16-44 years, 75% of CC patients were smokers compared with ...

A 73-year-old female during the treatment of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) consulted our outpatient clinic complained of chronic diarrhea lasting more than six months. There was no body weight loss, and she did not feel severe abdominal pain. Twelve months prior consultation, prednisolone and lansoprazole were started to be administrated against COP. Since the patient had a past history of peptic ulcer, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) was also started against the adverse effect of corticosteroid therapy. Administration of corticosteroid and lansoprazole was also continued, because of repeating recurrence and improvement of COP. On physical examination, abdomen showed no significant abnormal findings. Stool color was normal, and stool occult blood examination was also negative. And stool bacterial culture did not show abnormal finding. Blood laboratory examination showed as following; white blood cell count 4,890/mL, hemoglobin 15.0 g/dL, platelet count 199,000/mL, total protein 6.7 g/dL, albumin 4

Colitis is associated with chronic watery diarrhea. The colonoscopy is typically normal, but biopsies of the colon show increased numbers of chronic inflammatory cells and a pink staining stripe that looks like a collagen band in the case of collagenous colitis.

Collagenous mucosal inflammatory disease is a rare gastrointestinal disorder that involves the columnar lining of gastric and intestinal mucosa and is characterized by a distinct subepithelial collagen deposition. Recent clinical and pathological evidence have indicated that collagenous mucosal inflammatory disease can be extensive disease that may concomitantly involve several gastrointestinal sites at the same time. This entity, however, occurs infrequently in children. It is even less common to find concomitant depositions of collagen in the mucosa of gastrointestinal sites other than the colon. Only two cases in pediatric literature reported concomitant involvement, one with gastric and colonic involvement and the other one with gastroduodenocolitis. We are reporting a 15-month-old boy who presented with severe diarrhea and diffuse edema secondary to hypoalbuminemia. Further testing documented protein losing enteropathy (PLE) associated with collagenous colitis.

In case you are in want of residence repairs or remodeling and would like to save thousands of dollars on your tasks, attempt applying for house enchancment grants. Airway remodeling in asthma was first described in 1922 by Hubert and Koessler in cases of deadly asthma (reviewed in Reference 1 ). Airway remodeling has been documented in all degrees of asthma severities and in each large and small airways ( 2 ). Airway remodeling refers to structural changes in airways of subjects with bronchial asthma which are not seen in healthy subjects.. Some variable correlations have been found between the severity of asthma, airway hyperresponsiveness or assault rating, and subepithelial collagen types I and III deposition within the airways ( 31 - 34 ). Subepithelial fibrosis has been related to the severity of asthma, and in severe bronchial asthma, elevated airway wall thickness is observed ( 35 ). Proteoglycan deposition in the ECM and bronchial fibroblast manufacturing of proteoglycans also correlate ...

The histological examination reveals mainly two subtypes of MC, lymphocytic or collagenous colitis. Despite the fact that the incidence in MC has been rising over the last decades, research has been sparse and our knowledge about MC remains limited. Specialists in the field have initiated the European Microscopic Colitis Group (EMCG) with the primary goal to create awareness on MC. The EMCG is furthermore a forum with the intention to promote clinical and basic research. ...

Microscopic colitis includes collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis and is characterized by chronic diarrhea caused by inflammation in the colon. Collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis are two types of bowel inflammation that affect the colon (large intestine). They are not related to Crohns disease or ulcerative colitis, which are more severe forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These conditions are not life-threatening and there is no increased risk of cancer.. This condition is known as microscopic colitis because physicians cant see the inflammation without a microscope. Instead, tissue samples from the colon must be examined under a microscope to make the diagnosis. When looked at through an endoscope during a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, the colon appears entirely normal. What causes microscopic colitis? ...

Microscopic colitis describes inflammation in the colon. There are two primary types: collagenous and lymphocytic. If you have collagenous colitis, it indicates that a thick layer of collagen has formed on colon tissue. If you have lymphocytic colitis, it means lymphocytes have formed on colon tissue.. This condition is called microscopic due to the fact that doctors must look at tissue under a microscopic lense to detect it. This condition normally causes watery diarrhea and other digestive symptoms. ...

Clinical and epidemiological aspects of microscopic colitis are well described. Budesonide is the best-documented short-term therapy in collagenous colitis, but the optimal long-term strategy needs further study. Controlled treatment data of lymphocytic colitis are awaited for.

We have recently shown that QoL, assessed by the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index is considerably reduced in collagenous colitis.[22] Although it can be assumed that lymphocytic colitis may also have an effect on the patients QoL, it has not been formally investigated so far. When we started our present trial, we decided to use the generic SF-36,[23] because we were interested to investigate the effect of lymphocytic colitis on the general QoL. Our findings suggest that lymphocytic colitis may affect on general QoL similar to other chronic gastrointestinal diseases.[23] However, only the physical sum score of the SF-36 improved after 6 weeks of treatment with budesonide, whereas the mental sum score did not. A possible reason for this observation might be that the SF-36 is not disease specific and, therefore, not sensitive enough to detect treatment effects. Meanwhile, we have shown that the SF-36 is comparable to the short inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (SIBDQ) to detect ...

Background and Aim: Microscopic colitis, comprising collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis, is a common cause of chronic diarrhea. Previously, we showed enhanced chemokine productions in microscopic colitis patients, indicating dysregulated immune cell chemotaxis in the immunopathogenesis. We also showed decreased mRNA of IL-37, mainly regarded as an anti-inflammatory cytokine, in the colonic mucosa of these patients, potentially an important factor for the chronicity of the colitis. Our aim in this study was to understand the possible role of IL-37 in chemokine production using a cell line model.. Methods: A colon epithelial cell line, T84, was stimulated with the TLR5 ligand flagellin. IL-37 protein production was reduced 20% using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, and the changes in chemokine mRNA and protein expressions were compared to cells transfected with empty plasmid.. Results: The 20% reduction in IL-37 protein levels spontaneously increased CCL5, CXCL8, CXCL10, and CXCL11 mRNA and protein ...

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is defined as the presence of hepatic steatosis and inflammation with hepatocyte injury (ballooning) with or without fibrosis. NASH is often a silent liver disease. Estimated prevalence of NASH ranges from 3% to 5% in different studies. The prevalence of NASH-related cirrhosis in the general population is not known. Herein, we report a case of a young female presented with NASH-related cirrhosis in the setting of poorly controlled celiac disease (CD) and microscopic colitis. A variety of liver abnormalities have been observed in patients with CD, but this unique constellation of the gut and liver pathologies has not been reported previously. ...

Collagenous colitis (CC) and lymphocytic colitis (LC) are relatively rare conditions that are diagnosed when a patient with chronic watery nonbloody diarrhea has an endoscopically or radiographically normal colon, but colonic biopsies show unique inflammatory changes. Because the mucosa is not ulcerated or otherwise disrupted, the diarrhea ge...

Initially, the patient appeared to have classic coeliac disease, with diarrhoea and weight loss together with a positive serology. The endoscopy was crucial as the duodenal biopsies identified the presence of a thick band-like deposit of collagen just below the duodenal epithelium. On the basis of this finding, collagenous sprue was diagnosed.. Collagenous sprue was first described in 1947,1 but it was not until 1970 that Weinstein et al. introduced it as a diagnostic term to the medical nomenclature.2 Collagenous sprue is more frequent in females and in individuals who have other autoimmune diseases.3 It is now recognised that collagenous sprue shares similar clinical features with coeliac disease, such as chronic diarrhoea, anaemia and weight loss. In addition, the endoscopic and histological features of both diseases are similar, with an atrophic and scalloped duodenal mucosa. However, the histological hallmark of collagenous sprue is the presence of a thick subepithelial collagen band. Such ...

Some gastrointestinal diseases can be seen and diagnosed with the naked eye, such as ulcers of the stomach. Thus, ulcers can be seen at surgery, on x-rays, and at endoscopies. Other diseases cannot be seen with the naked eye but can be seen and diagnosed with the microscope. For example, celiac disease and collagenous colitis are diagnosed by microscopic examination of biopsies of the small bowel and colon, respectively. In contrast, gastrointestinal functional diseases cannot be seen with the naked eye or with the microscope. In some instances, the abnormal function can be demonstrated by tests, for example, gastric emptying studies or antro-duodenal motility studies. However, these tests often are complex, are not widely available, and do not reliably detect the functional abnormalities. Accordingly, by default, functional gastrointestinal diseases are those involving the abnormal function of gastrointestinal organs in which abnormalities cannot be seen in the organs with either the naked eye ...
