Gastrointestinal Disorder Associated with Olmesartan Mimics Autoimmune Enteropathy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Anti-hypertensive treatment with the angiotensin II receptor antagonist olmesartan is a rare cause of severe Sprue-like enteropathy. To substantiate the hypothesis that olmesartan interferes with gut immune homeostasis, clinical, histopathological and immune features were compared in olmesartan-induced-enteropathy (OIE) and in autoimmune enteropathy (AIE). METHODS Me...

Chronic, unexplained diarrhea in children younger than 3 months old was first characterized as “intractable diarrhea” [1]. The term “protracted diarrhea” was used later to describe infants with frequent and loose stools severe enough to often require parenteral alimentation as nutritional support [2].

The term autoimmune enteropathy (AIE) was applied to a form of "intractable diarrhoea" with serum gut autoantibodies, characterized by male predominance, early onset, poor response to parenteral nutrition and several autoimmune diseases, mainly type 1 diabetes. In recent years the vague concept of AIE has became more precise thanks to the discovery of its genetic and molecular basis. The FOXP3 ...
