Cytological examination is a valuable diagnostic tool in case of a serous effusion. The firstmanifestation of malignancy may be an effusion of the pleural, pericardial, or peritoneal cavity, especially in carcinoma of the ovary, or lung, and malignant mesothelioma. In other malignancies effusions may occur in the course of the disease. The contribution by Motherby et al. in this issue of ACP focuses on the contribution of image and flow cytometry to establish the presence or absence of malignancy in serous effusions [16]. They point out that the sensitivity of DNA image cytometry in equivocal effusions may be as high as 87.5%, and that for the detection of malignancy, DNA image cytometry is superior to flow cytometry.

Abstract Background Terminal ileitis (TI), is a common condition in clinical practice and may be associated with a wide variety of diseases. Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is a valuable diagnostic tool for small bowel diseases; however, data regarding its diagnostic impact on isolated TI are sparse. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of SBCE for isolated TI detected during ileocolonoscopy. Methods Retrospective study including consecutive patients undergoing SBCE after diagnosis of TI without colonic mucosal abnormalities on ileocolonoscopy between January 2016 and September 2019. Demographic, clinical, biochemical, endoscopic and imaging data were collected. Results One hundred and two patients with isolated ileitis on ileocolonoscopy were included. Positive findings on SBCE were found in 84 (82.4%) patients, being ulcers the most common finding (76.5%). Endoscopic abnormalities proximal to terminal ileum were found in 36.3% of patients. After SBCE, 63.7% of patients had a final diagnosis, Crohn’s disease (CD) was the most common (34.3%), followed by NSAIDs enteropathy (12.7%). Elevated faecal calprotectin (p = 0.001) was independently associated with positive SBCE findings. There was a tendency for high levels of erythrocyte sedimentation rate be associated with positive findings (p = 0.07). However, the presence of symptoms, imaging abnormalities and other laboratory findings such as leukocytosis, anaemia, and elevated C-reactive protein were not predictors of positive SBCE findings. At multivariate analysis, only elevated faecal calprotectin (OR 6.0, IC 95% 1.9–18.7; p = 0.002) was a significant predictive factor for positive SBCE findings. Conclusion SBCE revealed a high diagnostic yield in patients with isolated ileitis on ileocolonoscopy enabling a definite diagnosis in almost two-thirds of patients. Approximately one-third of patients had findings proximal to terminal ileum and a similar percentage was diagnosed with CD. In patients with isolated ileitis on ileocolonoscopy, SBCE should be considered to evaluate small bowel lesions, particularly when there is an elevated faecal calprotectin, even when other clinical, imagiological or laboratorial abnormalities are absent.
