Sweet Syndrome Accompanying Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Child

Acute neutrophilic dermatosis, first described in 1964 by Robert Douglas Sweet, is characterized by sudden onset fever, neutrophilic leukocytosis, and well demarcated erythematous papules, nodules, and plaques with dense neutrophilic infiltrates on histologic evaluation.Here is a report of a 7-year-old girl who presented with high grade fever, and discrete erythematous papular skin eruptions, w...

Exacerbation of inflammatory bowel disease with isotretinoin

A 27-year-old female medical student experienced an episode of intermittent bloody diarrhoea for 6 weeks. She had no prior illnesses, no family history of note and had not undergone any recent travel. Routine blood and stool tests by her GP were normal. A colonoscopy showed patchy moderately active colitis and biopsies revealed patchy mild to moderate chronic active inflammation with cryptitis ...

Heart Rate Recovery Is Impaired in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Active Disease versus Remission

The authors suggested that the chronic inflammation present in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease might have a role in the deterioration of the autonomic function. Proinflammatory responses have been associated with an impaired autonomic response and heart rate variability in a previous study [4] . Recently, Efe et al. [5] found an independent association between IBD and interatri...
