Non-variceal and non-ulcerative bleeding in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as radiation enteritis with active and extensive oozing, is common, and management of these conditions can be challenging. We describe the first case in the literature to use hypertonic glucose spray in radiation enteritis-associated diffuse mucosal bleeding.

We report 2 cases of recurrent Campylobacter coli enteritis caused by macrolide- and fluoroquinolone-resistant strains in 2 patients with hypogammaglobulinemia, successfully treated with a prolonged course of fosfomycin-tromethamine with no side effects. Fosfomycin-tromethamine may be a feasible alternative therapy for recurrent enteritis caused by Campylobacter species resistant to first-line ...

BACKGROUND Acute radiation enteritis is a common adverse effect related to radiotherapy (RT). Glutamine is an immune modulator and antioxidant amino acid that can exert a protective role in patients receiving abdominal or pelvic radiation. The aim of this study was to test if glutamine prevents radiation enteritis during RT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Double-blind, randomized, controlled trial inc...

Malignant Ovine Theileriosis (MOT), caused by Theileria lestoquardi, is a major constraint for sheep production in many areas of the world including Sudan. Export sheep and sheep products are a major component of Sudan national economy and foreign income. Despite the importance of the disease, there is a considerable lack of detailed information regarding the postmortem and histological manifes...

The Clostridium perfringens alpha-toxin has previously been implicated as the major virulence factor in necrotic enteritis in chickens, although definitive proof has not been reported. In this study an alpha-toxin mutant was constructed in a virulent chicken isolate and shown to retain full virulence in a chicken disease model. These results demonstrated that alpha-toxin is not an essential vir...

An outbreak of infantile gastro-enteritis caused by Escherichia coli 0114. An outbreak of infantile gastro-enteritis occurred at Booth Hall Children's Hospital as part of a general incident in north-western England, caused by Esch. coli 01 14K9OH2. The ...

Mortality due to infectious diseases is seldom reported in the Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). A case of necrotic enteritis associated with Clostridium perfringens type A is described in a free-ranging adult male sage-grouse in eastern Oregon. Clostridial enteritis is known to cause outbreaks of mortality in various domestic and wild birds, and should be considered as a potenti...
