Coincidental CMV Colitis Post-hemorrhoidopexy in an Immunocompetent patient

This is a case of a 74 years old immunocompetent female who developed severe diarrhea after haemorrhoidopexy for 2 months duration. Investigations to find the cause of persistent diarrhea were done, including colonoscopy showed ulcers from which biopsy was taken and the presence of CMV-DNA was identified. She got treated with IV and oral Ganciclovir and repeated colonoscopy showed improvement of the ulcers with gradually improvement of diarrhea.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an opportunistic organism. We report a young, healthy, immunocompetent female with no apparent cardiovascular risk factors presenting with acute myocardial infarction. She had CMV viremia and went on to develop CMV-colitis and hepatitis. This report highlights that CMV can cause clinically significant multi-organ disease in immunocompetent-patients

Lanreotide Autogel

Diarrhea is one of the most common complications following colectomy in patients with slow transit constipation (STC). Early postoperative diarrhea is usually treated with opioid agonists; however, to date, published data on the management of persistent diarrhea after colectomy for STC are scarce. Here, we report a case of severe diarrhea after a total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis. One year after the surgery, the patient presented with persistent diarrhea. Treatment with a long-acting somatostatin analogue, lanreotide Autogel, was initiated. One month after the first injection of lanreotide Autogel the diarrhea was resolved. The patient’s stool transit was markedly improved (type 4 or type 5 according to the Bristol Stool Chart compared to type 7 before the treatment), positively affecting the patient’s quality of life (mean score of 2.1 on the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life questionnaire compared to 3.9 before the treatment). This case report describes a successful use of lanreotide Autogel in a patient with persistent diarrhea after a total colectomy.
