CMV and enteric pathogens: Case studies

Case 2: Severe Pouch Inflammation
• 32 yo woman undergoing a 3 stage colectomy and J pouch reconstruction for refractory ulcerative colitis
• Diagnosed with UC at age 22, maintained on mesalamine, then worsening of disease 3 years ago. Escalation to immunomodulator and infliximab with no improvement
• Colectomy for steroid dependent, poorly controlled disease; end ileostomy (6 months earlier).
• J pouch and diverting loop ileostomy (2 months earlier
Case 2: Severe Pouch Inflammation
• Pt employed as dental hygienist in VA Hospital and domicillary
• Admitted with 2 weeks of worsening rectal discharge, pelvic and abdominal pain; fevers.
• Admitted to surgical service• Exam
– Febrile to 101, tachycardic– Abdomen: distended, hypoactive bowel sounds,
tender– Stenosis at the anal cuff/pouch anastomosis
Case 2: Severe Pouch Inflammation
• What diagnostic tests on admission?• Pouchoscopy• CT scan of abdomen and pelvis
Endoscopic appearance of the J pouch and proximal ileum
Hamlin P J et al. Postgrad Med J 2004;80:233-235
• J pouch with diverting loop ileostomy
• Ileum above J pouch downstream from diverting loop ileostomy
Case 2: Severe Pouch Inflammation
• J pouch with diverting loop ileostomy (contrast passes into the ostomy)
• Dilated bowel loops in diverted, downstream small bowel
• Bowel wall thickening• Ascites
Case 2: Severe Pouch Inflammation
• Stool sample sent from pouchoscopy• C difficile is detected• What are data regarding C difficile infection of
small bowel and J pouch?
Case 2: Severe Pouch InflammationC difficile enteritis: An early complication in IBD
patients following colectomy
• Rare but associated with significant morbidity with mortality rates ranging from 60-83%
• Institutional series of six patients (2004-2006). C difficile enteritis manifested with high volume watery ileostomy output, ileus, fever with leukocytosis. No mortality with prompt diagnosis and therapy

Case 2: Severe Pouch InflammationHow can we treat diverted bowel?
• Oral metronidazole • Intravenous metronidazole • Oral vancomycin • Vancomycin enema • Injection of vancomycin into loop ileostomy• Intravenous vancomycin

Case 2: Severe Pouch InflammationHow can we treat diverted bowel?
• Metronidazole is rapidly absorbed and will enter distal GI tract after biliary excretion (normal bowel)
• Metronidazole in bloodstream will cross into lumen of inflamed mucosa
• Vancomycin oral delivery will not enter distal, diverted small bowel• Vancomycin enema is effective; strictured anal cuff/pouch
anastomosis made this initially• Injection (lavage) of vancomycin flushes into the afferent limb of
loop ileostomy

Case 2: Severe Pouch InflammationHow can we treat diverted bowel?
• Patient responded to vancomycin flushes into the loop ileostomy• Dilation of the anastomotic stricture allowed for vancomycin enema
therapy to be initiated• Recurrence of C difficile after initial therapy stopped after 2 weeks.• Prolonged vancoymcin used until time of the loop ileostomy
takedown

Case 2: Severe Pouch InflammationLong-term results after takedown of diverting
ileostomy
Case 3: Is this C difficile?
• 38 yo woman with 10 year history of Crohn’s colitis on azathioprine and adalimumab therapy in durable remission becomes sick with first colitis flare in 4 years. C difficile infection at time of diagnosis.
• Patient contacts office with complaint of 10 loose bowel movements per day, nocturnal bowel movements, abdominal pain
• Patient was visiting elderly relative in hospital and long-term care facility over the past month
• It is Friday afternoon. Stool testing cannot be brought to lab until Monday
• What should we do?
Case 3: Is this C difficile?
• Oral vancomycin is started – 125 mg four times per day
• Patient improves over initial 3 days• Stool sample is brought in while patient is on
therapy, and is negative• How accurate is stool analysis if the patient is on
therapy?

Case 3: Is this C difficile?
• Nucleic acid testing for C difficile is a major advance in the laboratory diagnosis of CDI, but it cannot be the basis for withholding therapy in situations where pre-test suspicion is high
• Once on therapy, sensitivity of PCR based detection of C difficile decreases rapidly
• Once initiated, commit to treatment. No rationale for retesting for C difficile during initial treatment time period
