Fibrin thrombi, a cause of clindamycin-associated colitis?
Rectal biopsies from five patients with clindamycin-associated colitis were studied with the intention of identifying fibrin thrombi in capillaries. Capillary thrombosis was present in all five cases, three with pseudomembranous colitis and two with non-specific colitis. The significance of capillary thrombosis and its relationship to other ischaemic lesions of the gut are discussed.
متن کاملClindamycin-associated colitis due to a toxin-producing species of Clostridium in hamsters.
Clindamycin-associated enterocolitis in hamsters was studied to detect and characterize a transmissible agent. It was found that the disease could be transferred by cecal contents and filtrates of cecal contents (pore size of filter, 0.02 micron) obtained from animals after administration of clindamycin. Subsequent work showed that enterocolitis could be produced with broth cultures of a specie...
متن کاملDemonstration of in situ fibrin degradation in pathologic thrombi.
Fibrin prepared from 15 pathologic thrombi was examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to determine the extent and pattern of fibrinolysis that occurs in vivo. Two groups of patients could be distinguished on the basis of the polypeptide chain composition of fibrin in their thrombi. Those patients who presented with acute vascular obstruction, either arterial or ve...
متن کاملImmunochemical characterization of fibrinogen, fibrin I, and fibrin II in human thrombi and atherosclerotic lesions.
Arterial thrombi and atherosclerotic lesions were analyzed immunochemically and examined histologically. The extent of in vivo proteolytic cleavage of the amino-terminal end of fibrinogen by thrombin and plasmin was determined and quantitated by specific radioimmunoassays. The samples were treated with cyanogen bromide (CNBr), and the total amount of fibrinogen and fibrin-derived protein was de...
متن کاملMucosal damage mediated by clostridial toxin in experimental clindamycin-associated colitis.
A toxin produced by Clostridium difficile has been implicated in the pathogenesis of antibiotic-associated colitis in humans and experimental animals. This study was undertaken in order to define the sequential evolution of caecal mucosal lesions in the hamster and to relate those lesions directly to the clostridial toxin. Sterile filtrates from a culture of C. difficile and from caecal content...
