Correction to: In vitro prediction of stop-codon suppression by intravenous gentamicin in patients with cystic fibrosis: a pilot study.

BMC medicine·2018

This study highlights a rare case of severe indeterminate colitis linked to cystic fibrosis in a young woman. The connection between these conditions suggests a potential, yet unexplained, pathophysiological relationship.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Pulmonology
  • Genetics and Rare Diseases

Background:

  • Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder primarily affecting the lungs and digestive system.
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, involves chronic gastrointestinal inflammation.
  • The co-occurrence of CF and IBD is infrequently reported, with most cases aligning with Crohn's disease criteria.

Observation:

  • A 21-year-old woman presented with severe indeterminate colitis.
  • She had mild pulmonary symptoms consistent with cystic fibrosis but no overt digestive or pancreatic issues.
  • Diagnostic workup lacked specific histological markers for Crohn's disease.

Findings:

  • The case presents a unique association between severe indeterminate colitis and cystic fibrosis.

  • This finding adds to the limited number of reported cases linking IBD and CF.
  • The patient's presentation deviated from typical Crohn's disease due to the absence of specific histological features.

    • Implications:

    • The association suggests a potential link between cystic fibrosis and inflammatory bowel disease beyond coincidence.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the unknown pathophysiological mechanisms connecting CF and IBD.
    • This case underscores the importance of considering IBD in CF patients, even with atypical presentations.
