European Consensus on Malabsorption—UEG & SIGE, LGA, SPG, SRGH, CGS, ESPCG, EAGEN, ESPEN, and ESPGHAN. Part 1: Definitions, Clinical Phenotypes, and Diagnostic Testing for Malabsorption

open access: yesUnited European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 599-613, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Malabsorption is a complex and multifaceted condition characterised by the defective passage of nutrients into the blood and lymphatic streams. Several congenital or acquired disorders may cause either selective or global malabsorption in both children and adults, such as cystic fibrosis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), coeliac ...

Resistance to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and Tropheryma whipplei [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2009
Whipple's disease (WD) is a chronic infection caused by Tropheryma whipplei. A 1-year treatment of oral trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (SXT) is commonly used. Advances in the culture of T. whipplei have allowed for full genome sequencing and antibiotic susceptibility testing, which has demonstrated resistance of T. whipplei to trimethoprim.
