Objective : To observe Sagunjatanghapchangchuljiyutang in rectifying the digestive dysfunctional spleen deficiency syndrome caused by chronic diarrhea. Methods : Sagunjatanghapchangchuljiyutang was chosen to treat the digestive dysfunctional spleen deficiency syndrome caused by chronic diarrhea. The model was induced by Rhei Radix and castor oil. The effects on the gastric secretion ability(gastrin, secretin, volume of gastric juice, free acidity, total acidity, pepsin activity) and nutritional condition(protein, albumin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, total lipid, BUN, creatinine, RBC, WBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit) were observed in vivo. Results : The group induced chronic diarrhea by Rhei Radix and castor oil had lower gastric secretion ability and nutritional condition was lower than that of the normal group. The figures for group given Sagunjatanghapchangchuljiyutang showed improvement, especially gastrin, total lipid and hematocrit. Conclusion : Sagunjatanghapchangchuljiyutang have an effect on the digestive dysfunctional spleen deficiency syndrome caused by chronic diarrhea. And experimental study syndrome could be proceed.

A 25-day-old, Korean indigenous calf was presented with a 10 days history of respiratory disorders and bloody diarrhea, and died. This calf was extremely unthrifty compared to others and had evidence of chronic diarrhea based on matting of feces in the hair of the tail and perineum. Ecchymotic hemorrhages were observed on multiple organs at necropsy. Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection was identified by RT-PCR. The phylogenetic analysis showed that this case belonged to BVDV-2a subgroup and was related to highly pathogenic USA isolate 890 (U18059). This case provided evidence for circulation of BVDV-2 in Republic of Korea. The occurrence of BVDV-2 was also reconfirmed.

장염의 원인은 매우 다양한데, 식중독과 같은 각종 바이러스성 감염과 세균 감염 등으로 인한 감염성 장염이 흔하며, 크론씨병, 궤양성 대장염과 같은 만성 질환도 있다. 주로 나타나는 증상은 복통과 설사이며 열이 동반되는 경우도 있다. 복통은 정확히 위치를 알 수 없는 묵직한 통증이 가장 흔하며, 묵직한 통증으로 시작하여 뒤틀리는 듯이 심하게 아픈 통증으로 진행하는 경우가 흔하다. 설사는 적게는 하루에 2~3회에서, 많게는 20여 회가 넘는 경우까지 그 빈도가 다양하다. 대장이 감염된 경우 변에 코와 같은 점액이 많이 섞여 나오고, 소장이 감염된 경우에는 점액이 별로 섞여 나오지 않는다. 주로 6개월~24개월 사이의 아이에게 잘 발생하며, 춥고 건조한 늦가을부터 겨울철(10월~1월)에 가장 많이 발생하는데, 우리나라에서는 시기에 관계없이 발생하기도 한다.

Acrodermatitis enteropathica, an autosomal recessive disease, usually presents with severe acral and circumorificial dermatitis, diarrhea, alopecia, intercurrent bacterial infection during early infancy, and is eventually fatal if left untreated. We report a case of acrodermatitis enteropathica in a 2-month-old male infant who presented with chronic diarrhea not responsive to conventional therapy and developed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). He showed the characteristic eczematoid skin lesions, chronic diarrhea, failure to thrive, and low serum zinc concenturation. $Zn^{2+}$ was administered with dramatic improvement of skin lesions, DIC and diarrhea. He rapidly catched up normal growth and development on continuing zinc supplementation.

최근 우리나라 소 사육농가에서 육성 및 자우에서 빈번하게 일어나는 세균성 및 바이러스성 설사병은 익히 알려져 있어 주의 깊게 관찰되어 치료와 예방을 잘하고 있으나, 정작 원충성인 콕시듐 설사병에 대해서는 간과하기 십상이다. 따라서 우리 대동물 임상수의사들도 특히 우상바닥 재료로 왕겨를 사용하는 농가들에 대해 관심깊게 봐두어 짚고 넘어가야 하지 않으면 아니되는 질병인 콕시듐증에 대해 정리하여 소개하고자 한다. 소 콕시듐병은 주로 포유기나 이유직후의 어린 소에서 발생하며, 포자층(Sporozoa)류에 속하는 Coccidia 원충(Potozoa)인 아이메리아(Eimeria) 및 Isospora속의 원충에 기인한 접촉성장염으로 장점막의 상피세포 파괴로 인한 급성출혈성 설사, 빈혈을 주 증상으로 하는 질병이며, 만성으로 될 경우는 성장지연과 생산성의 저하를 나타낸다.

Chronic diarrhea in children is a common problem with numerous causes. Although most of these causes are benign, critical illness may present as chronic diarrhea. In a patient of chronic diarrhea, gastrointestinal infections are the most common causes in children of all ages and antibiotics may cause chronic diarrhea by altering intestinal microflora, which can result in the emergence of bacterial overgrowth. Overgrowth of Clostridium difficile may cause pseudomembranous colitis. We experienced 25-month-old boy who suffered from chronic diarrhea and partially treated with antibiotics irregularly. Colonoscopic findings of this child showed multiple plaques with white to yellowish exudate which adhere to the mucosal surface of a variable length of rectum. Histollogically, each plaque comprised a pseudomembrane of mucous debris, inflammatory cells, and exudate overlying groups of partially disrupted glands. A latex agglutination test on patient's stool was positive to toxin A of Clostridium difficile. He was recovered after stopping the antibiotics he has been prescribed, and being given vancomycin for 2 weeks. We report this case with brief review of literature.

In most cases, acute diarrhea in childhood heals spontaneously, but it may become the form of chronic diarrhea in immunodeficient children and then cause weight loss, dehydration, malabsorption and malnutrition. The immunodeficient diseases associated with chronic diarrhea include severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome, common variable immunodeficiency, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, agammaglobulinemia or selective IgA deficiency. IgA deficiency is the most common primary immunodeficiency. Because many IgA deficient individuals seem to have compensated for their deficiency with increased IgM production and various nonimmunologic factors, the incidence of gastrointestinal involvement is not prominent. Some of those with IgA deficiency and recurrent infections have been found to also have IgG subclass deficiency. IgA deficiency with $IgG_2$ and $IgG_4$ subclass deficiency have high susceptability to infection and chronic diarrhea. IgG subclass deficiency, when present, is more likely to be found in association with a partial IgA deficiency rather than complete IgA deficiency. We report a 3-month-old male with intractable diarrhea accompanied by IgA, $IgG_2$, and $IgG_4$ deficiency.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the cause of chronic diarrhea from anaerobic bacteria isolated from Siberian tiger with chronic diarrhea. Major anaerobic bacteria isolated from faces were Clostridium perfringens and their population was $6 {\times} 10^3$ cfu/g feces. Antibiotic sensi- tivity test against Clostridium perfringens was performed using 6 antibiotic drugs including colistin gentamicin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, amikacin, enofloxacin and penicillin. Clostridium per- fringens were sensitive to amikacin, enrofloxacin and penicillin while they were resistant to colistin. gentamicin and trmetboprim/sulfamethoxazole. And we found that chronic diarrhea of Siberian tiger was treated successfully with penicillin. These results suggested that Clostridium perfringens may bee a cause of chronic diarrhea in Siberian tiger.

The irritable bowel syndrome(IBS) is the most common gastrointestinal disorder in clinical practice and is characterized by abdominal pain associated with a chronic disturbance of defecation. It is important to discriminate IBS from organic bowel disease. Based on clinical and epidemiologic studies, specific symptom criteria for IBS have been developed. The subject is a 29 year old man who has abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, general weakness, dizziness, insomnia and has been diagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome. We classified this as Shaoyangin Mangyin(少陽人 亡陰證) and prescribed Hyeongbangjiwhangtang(荊防地黃湯) in accordance with the principle of pyoeumganggi(表陰降氣). In the result, we had the improvement of his symptoms.
