OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to determine if use of intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) decreases the incidence of mortality, colectomies, and length of stay in the hospital in patients presenting with severe Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD).
METHODS
A retrospective analysis was
Shiga toxin and the related Shiga-like toxins (SLT), produced by Escherichia coli, can cause hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Human intravenous immune globulin (HIVIg) blocks the cytotoxicity of some SLTs in vitro. To examine the ability of HIVIg to modify disease caused by
The efficacy of oral gammaglobulin in the treatment of acute infectious diarrhea in immunocompetent children has been evaluated in an open placebo controlled trial. Moreover the efficacy of oral gammaglobulin has been tested also for treatment of chronic diarrhea in IgA deficient infants and for
OBJECTIVE
To determine fecal protein loss in children with acute and persistent diarrhea.
BACKGROUND
In children with diarrhea, ongoing losses of endogenous proteins have been suggested as contributing to impairment of nutritional and immunologic status. However, there is a paucity of information
Specific staining of antigen within bovine embryo kidney tissue culture cells, infected with either Oregon C24V or NADL-MD bovine viral diarrhea virus, was accomplished using fluorescein-conjugated swine anti-hog cholera or bovine antiviral diarrheaglobulin. Also specific staining of antigen within
A 25-year-old male was hospitalized for diarrhea and weight loss. Since childhood he had experienced recurrent episodes of pneumonia and diarrhea. Physical and laboratory findings were compatible with malabsorption. On endoscopy, nodular lymphoid hyperplasia (NLH) of the small intestine was found.
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus emerged in North America in April 2013 and has since been identified in 30 U.S. States, Canada and Mexico. The rapid spread of PEDV has raised concerns about the role of feed and particularly pork-by-product components such as spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) in PEDV
Diarrhea and malnutrition are major health problems in developing countries. Inflammation, high oxidative stress, poor nutritional status and fatty liver were encountered during such diseases. Patents for diarrhea and malnutrition management (WO2007/130882A2, WO00/37106A1,
Biweekly 200 mg/kg infusions of immune globulin (Gamimune) were given to a 46-year-old woman with severe common variable immunodeficiency, bronchiectasis, and chronic diarrhea with malabsorption. Failure to achieve therapeutically effective serum IgG concentrations in the face of fulminant sepsis
