The present case suggests that CS should be considered as a differential diagnosis for intractable diarrhea, even in infants. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

As far as to our knowledge, the presented case is the first reported case in infancy. [readbyqxmd.com]

• Chest Discomfort

  A review of systems was significant for alopecia, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and chest discomfort. Medications included aspirin, prasugrel, omeprazole, potassium chloride, carvedilol, and simvastatin. [academic.oup.com]

• Buffalo Hump

  The patient developed side effects from steroids (eg, moon face, buffalo hump) and had two episodes of catheter-related bloodstream infections. During this period, she was evaluated by the intestinal transplant team. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Edema of Lower Extremity

  Upon physical examination, we noted that she was a thin-built woman with swollen ankles and bilateral pitting edema of lower extremities, with stable vital signs. Repeat EGD performed after hospital admission showed a normal mucosal appearance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Epigastric Pain

  April 2016: Human Pathology # 10 Alan Hoi Lun Yau, Wei Xiong, Hin Hin Ko A 56-year-old Caucasian woman presented with epigastric pain, watery diarrhoea, bloating and flatulence following treatment with duloxetine and venlafaxine for anxiety and depression [readbyqxmd.com]

• Hepatosplenomegaly

  Physical examination revealed a cachectic man with a soft abdomen, increased bowel sounds, no hepatosplenomegaly and without tenderness to palpation. A review of systems was significant for alopecia, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and chest discomfort. [academic.oup.com]

Laboratory workup revealed normal stool analysis and TSH. He also tested negative for C.Diff, celiac disease antibodies, HIV, ANA, Hepatitis A, B and C. Initial EGD and colonoscopy were essentially normal. [shmabstracts.com]

  A liver biopsy showed mild to moderate hemosiderosis with preserved liver architecture without significant hepatocellular necrosis, cholestasis or steatosis ( Fig. 4 ). The duodenal biopsy did not reveal stainable iron. [academic.oup.com]

In cases of diet-refractory 'coeliac disease' it is therefore essential to consider collagenous sprue to initiate treatment at an early stage to prevent the fibrotic progression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CS is historically associated with a poor prognosis (Marthey et al., 2014). However, histological and clinical improvements have been described in most studies with concomitant usage of corticosteroids and/or gluten-free diet (Marthey et al., 2014). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis still remains guarded with most patients due to progressive malnutrition often requiring steroid/immunosuppressive/total parenteral nutrition for survival. Collagenous sprue is a rare malabsorption disease with very poor prognosis. [shmabstracts.com]

Prognosis is usually dismal. (NCI Thesaurus) ALSO IN ENCYCLOPEDIA : [tititudorancea.com]

Its exact etiology is still under investigation, and its relationship with classic celiac disease and other refractory, spruelike intestinal disorders remains controversial. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
