BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Chronic or recurring enterocolitis is a rare but perplexing complication of Hirschsprung's disease affecting especially patients with altered immune defense such as those with Down's syndrome. Sodium cromoglycate (SCG) is a nonabsorbable mast cell stabilizing agent that has been documented to be effective in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The authors studied the...

Purpose: Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) is the most frequent potentially life-threatening complication in children with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) even after definitive corrective surgery. Mounting evidence suggests that intestinal microbiota likely contribute to the etiology of enterocolitis, so the aim of this study was to use a mouse model of post pull-through HAEC to compare ...

A supply of oxygenated blood appropriate to the tissue needs of the gut is essential to the maintenance of its vital functions. The splanchnic vascular system serves this purpose and much of our knowledge of ischaemic bowel disease has developed from studies of radiological and pathological abnormalities of this system. The purpose of this paper is to summarize current information concerning th...

Neutropenic enterocolitis is a rare, life-threatening disease, characterized by fever and abdominal pain in the setting of neutropenia. It occurs most commonly in oncologic patients who are profoundly neutropenic as a result of cytotoxic chemotherapy. Neutropenic enterocolitis as a complication of medical therapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been rarely reported in literature. We describe ...
