  • Summary

    Infectious diseases of the lower gastrointestinal tract are caused by a vast array of viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic organisms. Pathologists are often called upon to distinguish infectious enterocolitis from other inflammatory disorders and, when possible, identify the causative pathogen or group of pathogens. Thus, pathologists should be aware of the patterns of injury and morphologic features that suggest infectious enterocolitides and should be able to generate a reasonable but narrow differential diagnosis that guides clinical management. This chapter reviews the clinical, gross, and, microscopic features of common and emerging infectious diseases of the lower gastrointestinal tract and emphasizes the pathologic findings that aid the appropriate classification of these diseases in daily practice.

  • Objective:

    To examine the histological effects of radiofrequency thermal ablation on the inferior concha epithelium and subepithelium, over five years post-treatment.

    Method:

    Inferior nasal concha epithelial biopsy specimens were examined histologically before and four, 30, 48 and 60 months after radiofrequency treatment, in six patients with inferior nasal concha hypertrophy.

    Results:

    At four months post-treatment, there was proliferation of blood vessels, increased inflammatory cells and a slightly decreased number of glands. At 30 months post-treatment, the number of inflammatory cells and glands had decreased, but signs of increased vascular proliferation, fibrosis and granulation were seen. At 48 and 60 months post-treatment, the number of inflammatory cells and blood vessels had decreased significantly, the number of glands had increased, and lobulation was observed.

    Conclusion:

    Radiofrequency thermal ablation does not cause carbonisation or osteitis in the inferior concha. The resultant fibrosis causes contraction of the concha and only minor tissue destruction (as shown by the persistence of submucosal glands).
