  • A 94-year-old female with end-stage renal disease presents with fever, fatigue, and hematochezia. She had previously resided in Hunan Province, China, and Myanmar, and she immigrated to Taiwan 30 years ago. Colonoscopy revealed a colonic ulcer. Biopsy of the colonic ulcer showed ulceration of the colonic mucosa, and many Paragonimus westermani-like eggs were noted. Serum IgG antibody levels showed strong reactivity with P. westermani excretory-secretory antigens by ELISA. Intestinal paragonimiasis was thus diagnosed according to the morphology of the eggs and serologic finding. After treatment with praziquantel, hematochezia resolved. The present case illustrates the extreme manifestations encountered in severe intestinal paragonimiasis.

  • 목 적 : 혈변을 보였으나 확진 할 수 없었던 4개월 이하의 영아에서 내원 당시의 임상 상태 및 2년 후의 추적관찰을 통해 얻은 정보로 임상 소견 및 향후 알레르기 질환의 발현 여부에 대하여 알아보고 치료 방침 설정에 도움이 되고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 신생아와 조기 영아기에 혈변을 보았던 환아들 중 감염 및 수술적 질환을 제외한 환아의 임상소견 및 2년 후의 추적관찰을 시행하였다. 결 과 : 모든 환아에서 RAST 우유 검사는 음성이었고, 환아들 모두는 자연 호전 되었으며, 2년 후 추적관찰 결과 예후는 양호하였다. 내원 당시의 총 호산구수 증가 유무에 따른 2년 후의 알레르기 성향에서 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결 론 : 신생아와 조기 영아기에 혈변을 보았던 환아들 중 감염 및 수술적 질환을 제외한 환아의 임상양상 및 예후는 모두 양호하였고, 특별한 치료 없이 모두 호전되었으므로 불필요한 치료를 배제할 수 있을 것이다.

  • 목적: 소아에서 드물지 않게 볼 수 있는 선혈변의 진단에 대장 내시경 검사의 역할에 대하여 살펴보았다. 방법: 선혈변으로 부산대학교병원에서 대장 내시경 검사를 받은 277명의 소아 환자를 대상으로 의무기록을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 남자가 190명(68.6%), 여자가 87명(31.4%)으로 남녀비는 2.2:1이었다. 진단 시 평균 연령은 $6.0{\pm}4.4$세였고, 첫 혈변의 발생에서 대장 내시경 검사까지의 평균 기간은 $4.9{\pm}12.1$개월이었다. 혈변의 양상은 선홍색 또는 검붉은 색의 혈변 65.1%, 변을 닦을 때 휴지에 묻는 양상 12.8%, 변기 물이 붉게 변하는 양상 11.9%, 선홍색 혈액이 뚝뚝 떨어지는 양상 10.2%였다. 내시경 스코프가 대장의 최근위부에 도달한 위치를 보면 회장말단 84.5%, 맹장 9.4%, 간 굴곡부 3.2%, 비장 굴곡부 2.9%였다. 내시경 검사에서 혈변의 원인을 찾을 수 없었던 경우가 30.6%였다. 혈변의 원인으로는 용종이 26.4%로 가장 많았고, 식이 단백 유발 직결장염 6.9%, 감염성 대장염 5.4%, 혈관 확장증 5.1%, 림프모낭염 4.7%, 비특이성 대장염 4.7%였다. 그 외 궤양성 대장염, 호산구성 대장염, 자가절제 용종, 크론병, 호중구 감소성 소장결장염, Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein 자반증, Peutz-Jeghers 증후군, 허혈성 대장염, 혈관종, 고립성 직장 궤양, 가족성 선종성 용종증, blue rubber nevus 증후군 등이 진단되었다. 병변의 위치는 직장 24.0%로 가장 많았으며, 직장-S상 결장 접합부 18.1%, S상 결장 13.5%, 상행 결장 14.2%, 횡행 결장 11.3%, 하행 결장 7.8%, 맹장 8.1%, 회장 말단 3.1% 등이었다. 대장 내시경 시행 이후에 혈변이 재발한 환자는 19.1%였고, 5명의 환자에서 내시경적 지혈술이 시행되었다. 94.6%의 환자가 의식하 진정 상태에서 내시경 시술을 받았으며 내시경 검사나 진정으로 인한 합병증은 발생하지 않았다. 결론: 소아에서의 선혈변은 원인과 정도가 다양하다. 대장 내시경 검사는 선혈변의 진단과 치료에 중요한 역할을 하며 안전한 검사 방법이다. 출혈 병소가 다양하므로 전 대장 내시경 검사를 하는 것이 바람직하다.

  • 1. Objectives : The aim of this study was to report significant improvement of chronic diarrhea and hematochezia after treatment with Dojeokgangki-tang in a Soyangin Patient with Crohn's Disease. 2. Methods : The patient's subjective and objective symptoms were observed daily throughout the hospitalization period, and the Crohn's disease activity index(CDAI) was calculated to gauge the progress or lack of progress. 3. Results : The symptoms of diarrhea and hematochezia disappeared by the end of the hospitalization period without recurrence, and the CDAI score dropped from 92.5 to 47. 4. Conclusions : A patient with Crohn's disease, who was in the state of repetitive relapse and remission after long term clinical courses was treated with Dojeokgangki-tang in a short period and the the symptoms of diarrhea and hematochezia disappeared without recurrence. Then the patient could stop taking corticosteriods and taper off immune-suppressing drugs.

  • Purpose: Alarm symptoms (red flag signs) are crucial indications for management decisions on pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy. We aimed to identify items in the alarm symptoms and pre-endoscopic investigations that predict abnormal endoscopy results. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted among children aged under 18 years undergoing endoscopy. The patients were classified into normal and abnormal endoscopic groups. The incidence of alarm symptoms and pre-endoscopic investigations were compared between the groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine independent risk factors for abnormal endoscopy. Results: Of 148 participants, 66 were classified in the abnormal endoscopy group. Compared with the normal group, the abnormal group had a significantly higher prevalence of alarm symptoms. Moreover, hematemesis/hematochezia, anemia, low hemoglobin level, hypoalbuminemia, rising erythrocyte sedimentation rate, increased serum lipase, and blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio were significantly higher in the abnormal endoscopy group than in the normal group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that hematemesis/hematochezia and low hemoglobin level were independent risk factors for abnormal endoscopy. Conclusion: The alarm symptoms and pre-endoscopic investigations were evaluated using predictive factors for abnormal pediatric endoscopic findings. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, hematemesis/hematochezia and low hemoglobin levels were independent risk factors for abnormal endoscopy.

  • Objectives: Rectal cancer bleeding occurs approximately 20% of overall rectal cancer patients. The current standard treatments cannot cover minor bleeding enough. Failures of the local or systemic approaches to stop bleeding are frequently reported. Methods: we reported a case of male rectal cancer patient who was treated with herbal decoction and significantly improved on symptoms, such as, loose stools and rectal bleeding. Previous to first visiting to our clinic, he was prescribed to use oral tranexamic acids, which failed to relieve his symptoms. He was administered with an herbal decoction, Inhyungtang, clinically known to have hemostastic effect in hematochezia. Results & Conclusion: The prescription showed significant improvement on his symptom, in particular, his bleeding. Thus, we report his case and we expect further experiences and experimental studies to support efficacy of Inhyungtang.

  • Gastrocolic fistula is a fistulous communication between the stomach and the colon. It is a passage between the gastric epithelium and the colonic epithelium. This uncommon complication is caused by benign and malignant diseases of the stomach or the colon. Its clinical manifestations include weight loss, diarrhea and fecal vomiting; occasionally, anemia, poor oral intake, fatigue and dizziness; and very rarely, gastrointestinal bleeding. In this paper, an unusual case of gastrocolic fistula accompanied by hematochezia, which was revealed to have been caused by colon cancer invasion, is described.

  • Background: Commensal bacteria play an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and probiotics have been used as treatment options. We aimed to explore the current use of probiotics and factors associated with their prescription in patients with IBD. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a single hospital-based cohort. Patients were eligible if they were ≥18 years old, visited the IBD clinic as an outpatient more than twice during the study period, and had a confirmed diagnosis of IBD. Patients were divided into two groups based on the prescription of probiotics. Clinical assessments were compared between the two groups. Results: In total, 217 patients were enrolled in this study. In patients with Crohn disease (CD), moderate or severe abdominal pain; prior use of methotrexate (MTX), iron, thiopurines, or biologics; history of IBD-related surgery; and stool frequency were independently associated with the prescription of probiotics. In patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), moderate or severe abdominal pain, hematochezia, stool frequency, and moderate or severe physician global assessment score were independently associated with the prescription of probiotics. Conclusion: Increased disease activity may be associated with fewer prescriptions of probiotics in patients with IBD. However, physicians prescribed probiotics to control symptoms, such as abdominal pain and increased stool frequency in patients with UC and CD, and hematochezia in patients with UC. Additionally, the use of MTX and iron, and a history of IBD-related surgeries were associated with more frequent probiotic prescriptions in patients with CD.
