The mink enteritis virus (MEV) SD12/01 strain was isolated from a mink showing clinical and pathological signs of enteritis in Shandong, China, in 2012. The genome of MEV SD12/01 was sequenced and analyzed, which will promote a better understanding of the molecular epidemiology and genetic diversity of MEV field isolates in northern China.

Phlegmonous enteritis is a rare infective inflammatory disease of the intestine, predominantly involving the submucosal layer. It is difficult to diagnose and often fatal. Its association with alcoholism and various liver diseases, although rarely reported, is well documented. We report a case of phlegmonous enteritis in a male patient with congestive heart failure and colon cancer, and describ...

Jejunal mucosal biopsies were obtained from 13 patients with acute enteritis. Ten patients were examined again after recovery. Quantitative analysis of the findings in immunofluorescence microscopy showed a significant increase of IgA- and IgM-containing cells during acute enteritis. After recovery the number of immunoglobulin-containing cells and their distribution within the different immunog...

Clostridium perfringens strain LLY_N11, a commensal bacterium, which previously induced necrotic enteritis in an experimental study, was isolated from the intestine of a young healthy chicken. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of this strain, which may provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in necrotic enteritis pathogenesis.

FEU]SE ENTKiîiTis is au acute, specific, infectious, highly contagious disease of cats, usually young cats, commonly known as infectious gastroenteritis and feline distemper.^ It is also referred to as croupous enteritis, epizootic enteritis, malignant panleucopenia, infectious feline agranulocytosis, and feline typhus. The disease, which is world-wide in distribution, occurs in all parts of th...

A pediatric patient with enteritis, which showed dramatically diffuse uptake of 99mTc pertechnetate in the intestine, is reported. Repeated study after medical treatment exhibited complete disappearance of the intestinal uptake. 99mTc pertechnetate scintigraphy has the potentiality for diagnosing and monitoring active enteritis.

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...
