Protein-losing enteropathy during highly active antiretroviral therapy in a patient with AIDS-related disseminated Mycobacterial avium complex infection.

16 Aug 2009 Protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is defined as a condition in which excess protein loss into the gastrointestinal lumen, due to various causes, is severe enough to produce hypoproteinemia and hypoalbuminemia. We report a 28-year-old Japanese woman ... Read more...

Cytomegalovirus-associated protein-losing enteropathy resulting from lymphangiectasia in an immunocompetent child.

29 Apr 2009 An immunocompetent 8-year-old boy with cytomegalovirus (CMV)-associated transient protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is described. Colonoscopic examination revealed lymphoid hyperplasia of the terminal ileum. Histological examination of the biopsied ... Read more...

[Efficacy of double balloon enteroscopy for patients with intestinal lymphangiectasia, case report of primary intestinal lymphangiectasia]

30 Oct 2008 A 31-year-old man has visited our hospital, complaining diarrhea and leg edema. Blood test showed hypoalbuminea, but we couldn't find the reason by several examinations. Therefore, we performed double balloon enteroscopy, and intestinal ... Read more...
