Primary acquired hypogammaglobulinemia and regional enteritis.

We had a patient with primary acquired hypogammaglobulinemia (PAH), nodular lymphoid hyperplasia, giardiasis, and the subsequent development of regional enteritis (RE). The case is of interest because the development of regional enteritis in a patient with PAH has not been previously reported, to our knowledge. The interaction of hypogammaglobulinemia and RE is discussed from an immunologic point of view. The report adds RE to the many known bowel diseases associated with PAH.

Pseudomembraneous colitis has been increasingly observed after therapy with several antibiotics including ampicillin. This report describes the clinical and pathologic features of a patient who developed pseudomembraneous colitis while receiving ampicillin. The strikingly characteristic nature of these lesions is discussed and early diagnosis in the prevention of a potentially hazardous disorder is emphasized.
