BACKGROUND
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) represents a rare cause of protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) resulting from intestinal lymphangiectasia (IL). In this report, we describe an 8-year-old Turkish boy with IL and PLE secondary to CP.
METHODS
The boy was introduced to our clinic due to bilateral
We describe here an extremely rare case of primary amyloidosis which presented moderate pleural effusion and high fever. A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of exertional dyspnea, fatigue and fever. A chest X-ray showed right-sided moderate pleural effusion. A thoracocentesis
OBJECTIVE
With the advent of more aggressive chemotherapy, the incidence of neutropenic enteropathy is increasing. This review was performed to (1) determine which children are affected, (2) identify predisposing factors, and (3) assess efficacy of treatment.
METHODS
A 10-year (1988 to 1997) review
Celiac disease (CD) is a common autoimmune enteropathy that occurs, in affected individuals, with exposure to gluten in the diet and improves with removal of dietary gluten. Although CD is readily considered in patients with classical presentations of the disease, atypical manifestations may be the

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease affecting predominantly populations surrounding the Mediterranean basin. It is the most prevalent hereditary periodic fever syndrome characterized mainly by recurrent and short attacks of fever and serositis (pleuritis, arthritis,
Enteropathy-associated T-cell Lymphoma (EATL) is a rare form of aggressive T-cell lymphoma. It is more prevalent in men over 60 years and the prognosis is very poor. EATL is classified into two groups based on morphology, immunohistochemistry, and genetic profile. EATL type I is highly associated
The condition of pale, soft, exudative (PSE) pork has long been considered to be mainly a post mortem phenomenon. There is now substantial evidence that such pigs are suffering from a kind of myopathy, which predisposes them to an abnormal post mortem metabolism. Genetic studies on PSE muscle
Purpose: To present the problems and possibilities of diagnostic and treatment in a patient with resistant exudative-constrictive pericarditis.

The paper is concerned with a study in which eosinophilic exudative pleuritis was the first sign of drug allergy (penicillin, streptomycin, claphoran), also manifesting itself in fever, hemorrhagic eruption, eosinophilia in the blood. Fast recovery was achieved after discontinuation of antibacterial
A 70-year-old woman with celiac disease presented with weight loss and diarrhea unresponsive to gluten-free diet (GFD) and prednisone. Diagnosis of type 2 refractory celiac disease (RCD) was made by small intestinal biopsies showing severe villous blunting and intraepithelial lymphocytosis. She was
OBJECTIVE

A 48-year-old male patient had two episodes of fever, headache, confusion and seizures following an upper respiratory tract infection. Electroencephalography (EEG) revealed diffuse slowing of background activity. Plasma free carnitine and serum lipid levels were low; fecal fat content and serum
