Presentation
The present case suggests that CS should be considered as a differential diagnosis for intractable diarrhea, even in infants. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Atypical presentation of celiac disease was seen in patients across all grades of fibrosis. [nature.com]
Workup
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]
Provides all the necessary tools to make a comprehensive diagnostic workup including data from ancillary techniques and molecular findings whenever appropriate. [books.google.com]

Treatment
In addition, successful treatment with biological agents, such as infliximab, has been documented (32,33), although reports describing development of lymphoproliferative diseases, particularly T cell type hepatosplenic lymphomas, may temper this treatment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
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]
Etiology
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]
The aim of our study was to describe the etiology of collagenous sprue and provide objective histological criteria for diagnosis. [nature.com]

Pathophysiology
The association between autoimmune diseases and olmesartan associated enteropathy is consistent with the emerging evidence supporting an immune-based pathophysiology. [elsevier.pt]

Prevention
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]
A means for preventing deposits for use in the polymerization of VCM and other vinyl monomers has been found that is very effective in preventing the formation of deposits on reactor components that come in contact with the VCM. [google.sr]
