2.Rapid diagnosis of camylobacter enteritis by direct staining examination
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;232(1):138-142
552 diarrhea stool specimens were stained by base fushin 1% for detecting morphology of camylobacter. Stool specimens also were cultured to isolate the organism. The result showed that: 83 stool specimens were positive with typical morphology of campylobacter by direct staining examination. In 51 positive specimens by culture, there were 41 positive specimens by direct staining examination. Sensitivity of direct staining method was 86.3% and specificity was 93%.

Background: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG) can mimic
symptoms of common gastrointestinal (GI) disorders but
responds well to appropriate treatment. Accurate diagnosis
is central to effective management. Data on EG in Southeast
Asia is lacking. We aim to describe the clinical profiles and
treatment outcomes of adult patients with EG in a Singapore
Tertiary Hospital.
Materials and Methods: This retrospective study involved
archival search of patients with GI biopsies that showed
eosinophilic infiltration from January 2004 to December
2012. Patients’ clinical data from computerised hospital
records and clinical notes was reviewed. Diagnostic criteria
for EG included presence of GI symptoms with more than 30
eosinophils/high power field on GI biopsies. Patients with
secondary causes for eosinophilia were excluded.
Results: Eighteen patients with EG were identified (mean
age 52 years; male/female: 11/7). Fifteen patients (83%) had
peripheral blood eosinophilia. Seven patients (39%) had
atopic conditions. Most common symptoms were diarrhoea
and abdominal pain. Small intestine was the most common
site involved. Endoscopic finding was non-specific. Ten
patients were treated with corticosteroids (nine
prednisolone, one budesonide): eight patients (89%)
responded clinically to prednisolone but four patients (50%)
relapsed following tapering-off of prednisolone and required
maintenance dose. One patient each responded to diet
elimination and montelukast respectively. Half of the
remaining six patients who were treated with proton-pump
inhibitors, antispasmodic or antidiarrheal agents still
remained symptomatic.
Conclusion: Prednisolone is an effective treatment though
relapses are common. Small intestine is most commonly
involved. EG should be considered in the evaluation of
unexplained chronic recurrent GI symptoms.

4.Perforated tuberculous enteritis - clinical features and early results of surgical treatment
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2005;9(3):161-166
Retrospective study was carried out on all patients treated for perforated tuberculous enteritis treated at Gia Dinh Hospital between 1999 and 2004. Definite diagnosis of perforated tuberculous enteritis was based on surgical and histopathological findings. Results: there were 15 patients including 14 males and 1 female with mean age of 39 years (range 20 to 82 years). Noticeable clinical manifestations were: abdominal pain (steadily severe in 5 patients and insidious with exacerbation in 10 patients), fever above 38oC in 5 patients, cachexia in 11 patients, abdominal tenderness and muscular guarding in 15 patients, preoperative shock in 4 patients. 60% of patients experienced tuberculosis and 60% patients had imagines of free gas in abdominal cavities on X-ray films. 6 patients had leucopenia and 5 patients had HIV positive. In operation, perforations were found in ileum and ileocecal region in 86.7% of cases. Postoperative morbidity and mortality rates were 60% and 46.7%, respectively

7.Research on clinical features and laboratory findings of necrotizing enteritis in children from 2 months to 2 years old admitted to National Hospital of Pediatrics
Journal of Medical Research 2005;34(2):52-58
The study encounted 20 patients of 2 months to 2 years old had diagnosis of necrotizing enteritis (N.E) admitted to the National Hospital of Pediatrics (NHP) between April 1991 to June 2003.These patients were analysed for clinical features and laboratory findings. The results showed that the main age group suffered from N.E is 2 to 12 months (18 patients, 90%). Male to female ratio is 2.33/1. Most of them live in the rural areas (85%). 80% of these children were not breastfeeded. The clinical features of N.E are rather abundant. Symptoms of intestinal obstruction: abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal distention, blood feces and peritonitis. They has hypovolemic shock wish CVP<5cmH2O, dehydrations. Abdomen X rays has manifestations of intestinal obstruction, peritonitis. The abdominal fluids have yellow color (53%), blood fluids (40%), high protein (21+-10.6g/l), rivalta (+), cells of abdomal fluids: 177+-107 cells/mm3. Status of anemia and hypoproteinemia, blood solitary with Hct 43.3+-7.12%. Uncompensated metabolic acidosis with pH <7.16+-0.16, BE-15+-5.
