Allergic proctocolitis causing hematochezia in preterm twins

Intussusception Causing Painless Hematochezia in an Adult

A 63-year-old woman was hospitalized after 2 episodes of mucoid, maroon-colored stools. She denied any prior or current episodes of abdominal pain, vomiting, fever, or recent travel. She was hemodynamically stable without significant drop in hematocrit. Colonoscopy revealed a 5-cm polypoid mass in the ascending colon with ulceration and fat eroding through the mucosa (Figure 1).

Hematochezia caused by eosinophilic proctocolitis in a newborn before oral feeding: a case report

BACKGROUND Hematochezia is a frequent symptom in early infancy. However, it occurs very rarely within the immediate neonatal period, and its occurrence before any oral intake is particularly rare. Because of the "congenital" presentation of hematochezia in our patient, we initially considered our case to be a non-classical, potentially severe type of food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis....

Thrombocytosis as an overt sign of cow's milk allergic proctocolitis.

Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome and allergic proctocolitis.

Non-IgE-mediated food allergic disorders account for up to 40% of milk protein allergy in infants and young children. We aim to review the recent literature and to provide an update on diagnosis and management of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) and food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP). The peer-reviewed articles indexed in PubMed have been reviewed. FPIES mani...
