Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease01:30

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

461
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Stages of Infection01:26

Stages of Infection

60.3K
Stages of infection describe what happens to a susceptible host once a pathogen invades the human body. The stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, stage of decline, and convalescence. The incubation stage is the period from exposure to a pathogen until symptoms start. The infected person is unaware of impending illness as the pathogens grow and multiply within the body. The duration may vary depending on the type of infection. The incubation period of measles averages ten to...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

569
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

419
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

1.3K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

48
Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Nephrology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Crohn's disease patients with ileostomies are susceptible to complications.
  • Acute kidney injury (AKI) can be multifactorial in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Observation:

  • A 38-year-old female with Crohn's disease and ileostomy presented with increased ileostomy output and AKI.
  • Initial workup revealed Cryptosporidium infection, treated with nitazoxanide.
  • Recurrent AKI and persistent high ileostomy output occurred despite negative stool studies and initial treatment.

Findings:

  • Despite negative stool studies for Cryptosporidium on readmission, workup for active Crohn's disease was normal.
  • Post-infectious inflammatory syndrome was diagnosed as the cause of persistent ileostomy dysfunction and AKI.
  • Steroid therapy (prednisone) led to significant symptom improvement and normalization of laboratory values.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering post-infectious inflammatory syndromes in patients with ileostomies presenting with recurrent AKI and gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • Steroid therapy can be effective in managing post-infectious inflammatory syndrome in this patient population.
  • Multidisciplinary management involving gastroenterology, nephrology, and infectious disease specialists is crucial.
