Does fecal calprotectin mirror inflammation of the distal ileum and bowel function after restorative proctocolectomy for pediatric-onset ulcerative colitis?
Neutrophilic inflammation of the distal ileum, as reflected by fecal calprotectin, is common after restorative proctocolectomy for pediatric-onset UC.
The substantial and patient-specific amounts of intracellular HCV RNA found by the present study support a concept of low-level replication in PBMCs. There was no evidence for persistent HCV infection in PBMCs after clearance of viremia in plasma.
