  • Title: [Collagenous colitis; an invisible disease?].
    Author: Gallas PR, Kerst AJ.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1991 Apr 20; 135(16):714-6. PubMed ID: 2038397.
    Abstract:
    A middle-aged female with chronic diarrhoea was diagnosed after extensive evaluation as having collagenous colitis. Remarkable in this case was the definitely abnormal-looking mucosa in a period of clinical exacerbation whereas the subepithelial collagenous band completely disappeared in a clinically more quiet stage of the disease. The diagnostic importance of performing stepwise colonic biopsies even in normal-appearing colon in a patient with chronic undiagnosed diarrhoea is discussed.
