Serotonin in the Pathogenesis of Lymphocytic Colitis. [PDF]
Lymphocytic colitis (LC) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, and colonic intraepithelial lymphocytosis. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is reported to increase in certain colon diseases; however, little is known regarding its metabolism in LC.

Lymphocytic colitis: pathologic predictors of response to therapy
Although the presence of intraepithelial lymphocytosis with surface epithelial damage is a unifying feature of lymphocytic colitis, there are nonclassical features that create morphologic heterogeneity between cases. Limited data on the significance of these secondary histologic features are available.

Microscopic Colitis in Patients with Unexplained Chronic Watery non-Bloody Diarrhea: A Cross Sectional Study [PDF]
Background and study aim: Microscopic colitis is an increasingly recognized cause of chronic watery non-bloody diarrhea. The diagnosis of microscopic colitis is mainly based on pathological examination of colonic biopsy from patients with chronic ...

Lymphocytic colitis can be transcriptionally divided into channelopathic and inflammatory lymphocytic colitis. [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundThe pathobiology of the non‐destructive inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) lymphocytic colitis (LC) is poorly understood. We aimed to define an LC‐specific mucosal transcriptome to gain insight into LC pathology, identify unique genomic signatures, and uncover potentially druggable disease pathways.MethodsWe performed bulk RNA ...

SARS-CoV-2-triggered lymphocytic colitis. [PDF]
The ability of SARS-CoV-2 to infect the gastrointestinal tract is well described. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are believed to represent a disorganised immune response in genetically predisposed individuals, which are triggered by various ...

Pralsetinib-Induced Lymphocytic Colitis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Lymphocytic colitis (LC) is a subtype of microscopic colitis, often associated with chronic watery diarrhea and characterized by an increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes. Although various medications are implicated in drug-induced LC, its incidence as a treatment-related adverse effect of rearrangement during transfection ...

Paucicellular and Asymptomatic Lymphocytic Colitis Expanding the Clinicopathologic Spectrum of Lymphocytic Colitis [PDF]
We examined clinicopathologic associations and biopsy changes that suggested classic lymphocytic colitis (C-LC) but were less well developed in intensity or distribution in 19 cases, which we termed paucicellular LC (P-LC). We also studied clinicopathologic associations and prevalence of LC in 100 asymptomatic, non-gluten-sensitive adults who underwent

Interventions for treating lymphocytic colitis. [PDF]
Lymphocytic colitis is a cause of chronic diarrhea. It is a subtype of microscopic colitis characterized by chronic, watery, non-bloody diarrhea and normal endoscopic and radiologic findings. The etiology of this disorder is unknown.Therapy is based mainly on case series and uncontrolled trials, or by extrapolation of data for treating collagenous ...
