Congenital chloride diarrhea clinical features and management: a systematic review.
Congenital chloride diarrhea (CLD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by watery diarrhea with a high level of fecal Cl. Articles published between 1 January 1965 and 31 December 2019, reported in PUBMED and EMBASE, were evaluated for a systematic review analyzing four categories: anamnestic features, clinical features, management, and follow-up strategies.. Fifty-seven papers reporting information on 193 CLD patients were included. The most common anamnestic features were positive family anamnesis for chronic diarrhea (44.4%), consanguinity (75%), polyhydramnios (98.3%), preterm delivery (78.6%), and failure to pass meconium (60.7%). Mean age at diarrhea onset was 6.63 days. Median diagnostic delay was 60 days. Prenatal diagnosis, based on molecular analysis, was described in 40/172 (23.3%). All patients received NaCl/KCl-substitutive therapy. An improvement of diarrhea during adulthood was reported in 91.3% of cases. Failure to thrive (21.6%) and chronic kidney disease (17.7%) were the most common complications.. This analysis of a large population suggests the necessity of better strategies for the management of CLD. A close follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach is mandatory to manage this condition characterized by heterogeneous and multisystemic complications.. In this systematic review, we describe data regarding anamnestic features, clinical features, management, and follow-up of CLD patients obtained from the largest population of patients ever described to date. The results of our investigation could provide useful insights for the diagnostic approach and the management of this condition.

Congenital chloride diarrhea presenting in newborn as a rare cause of meconium ileus.
Postpartum abdominal distention and meconium ileus may occur due to intestinal obstruction, Hirschprung disease or cystic fibrosis. However, other rare and challenging etiologies such as congenital chloride diarrhea (CCD) should be included in differential diagnosis of such presentation. We present a premature baby girl who had distended abdomen and lack of meconium immediately after birth. Surgical etiology was excluded and she was mistakenly suspected of having cystic fibrosis due to meconium ileus. CCD was diagnosed by recognition of watery diarrhea in association with hyponatremic, hypochloremic metabolic acidosis. Mutation analysis confirmed the diagnosis.

Meconium ileus caused by mutations in GUCY2C, encoding the CFTR-activating guanylate cyclase 2C.
Meconium ileus, intestinal obstruction in the newborn, is caused in most cases by CFTR mutations modulated by yet-unidentified modifier genes. We now show that in two unrelated consanguineous Bedouin kindreds, an autosomal-recessive phenotype of meconium ileus that is not associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by different homozygous mutations in GUCY2C, leading to a dramatic reduction or fully abrogating the enzymatic activity of the encoded guanlyl cyclase 2C. GUCY2C is a transmembrane receptor whose extracellular domain is activated by either the endogenous ligands, guanylin and related peptide uroguanylin, or by an external ligand, Escherichia coli (E. coli) heat-stable enterotoxin STa. GUCY2C is expressed in the human intestine, and the encoded protein activates the CFTR protein through local generation of cGMP. Thus, GUCY2C is a likely candidate modifier of the meconium ileus phenotype in CF. Because GUCY2C heterozygous and homozygous mutant mice are resistant to E. coli STa enterotoxin-induced diarrhea, it is plausible that GUCY2C mutations in the desert-dwelling Bedouin kindred are of selective advantage.

Magnetic resonance imaging in the prenatal diagnosis of congenital diarrhea.
Congenital diarrhea is very rare, and postnatal diagnosis is often made once the condition has caused potentially lethal fluid loss and electrolyte disorders. Prenatal detection is important to improve the immediate neonatal prognosis. We aimed to describe the prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance (MRI) imaging findings in fetuses with congenital diarrhea.. The study reports the pre- and postnatal findings in four fetuses that presented with generalized bowel dilatation and polyhydramnios. We analyzed the fetal ultrasound and MRI examinations jointly, then compared our provisional diagnosis with the amniotic fluid biochemistry and subsequently with the neonatal stool characteristics.. In each of the four cases an ultrasound examination between 22 and 30 weeks' gestation showed moderate generalized bowel dilatation and polyhydramnios suggesting intestinal obstruction. MRI examinations performed between 24 and 32 weeks' gestation confirmed that the dilatation was of gastrointestinal (GI) origin, with a signal indicating intraluminal water visible throughout the small bowel and colon. The expected hypersignal on T1-weighted sequences characteristic of physiological meconium was absent in the colon and rectum. This suggested that the meconium had been completely diluted and flushed out by the water content of the bowel. The constellation of MRI findings enabled a prenatal diagnosis of congenital diarrhea. The perinatal lab test findings revealed two cases of chloride diarrhea and two of sodium diarrhea.. Congenital diarrhea may be misdiagnosed as intestinal obstruction on prenatal ultrasound but has characteristic findings on prenatal MRI enabling accurate diagnosis; this is important for optimal neonatal management.

[Clinical characteristics and outcome of cystic fibrosis: report of 16 cases].
The aim of this report is to determine clinical characteristics and outcome of Cystic Fibrosis (CF).. Cases of CF managed at Infantile Medicine A Department in Children's Hospital of Tunis during 13 years (1994-2006) were reviewed.. 16 children had CF. They were 8 males and 8 females. 13 patients were consanguineous and four had similar familial cases. The mean age at diagnosis was 19 months (10 days, 13 years). 3/4 of patients were symptomatic within the first trimester of life. Revealing symptoms were: obstructive bronchopathy associated to chronic diarrhea (n=6), edema-anemia-hypotrophy-hypoproteinemia syndrome (n=3), meconium ileus (n=4), bronchiectasis (n=2) and chronic diarrhea (n=1). The diagnosis was confirmed by sweat test and genotypic data. The F508 del was the most frequent mutation (54%). Clinical outcome was characterized by the occurrence of respiratory and nutritional complications: acute respiratory failure (n=6), chronic respiratory failure (n=3), chronic pseudomonas aeruginosa infection (n=6) at a medium age of 3.8 years, recurrent haemoptysis (n=2), pleural effusion (n=2), a malnutrition (n =10) and diabetes associated to puberty delay in one patient. Seven patients died at mean age of 4.4 years (6 months, 17.3 years). Among surviving patients, six had no compromised nutritional status or lung function. Prenatal diagnosis was performed in three families.. CF is characterized by earliest onset and severity of symptoms. Therapeutic insufficiency is the main cause of precocious complications and poor prognosis in our series.

Adhesion of colonization factor antigen II-positive enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains to human enterocytelike differentiated HT-29 cells: a basis for host-pathogen interactions in the gut.
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli are the most common cause of travelers' and infant diarrhea in less-developed countries. In the present work, among several metabolically labeled human diarrheagenic E. coli strains, enterotoxigenic strains expressing colonization factor antigen II were shown to bind to HT-29 intestinal cell monolayers when these cells were grown in conditions promoting their enterocytic differentiation. Indirect immunofluorescence with fimbrial antisera revealed that pathogen attachment was associated with the production of a specific bacterial adhesin, the E. coli surface antigen CS3. Scanning and transmission electron micrographs showed an apical pattern of colonization, characteristic of enterotoxigenic E. coli infections. The above data were consistent with all observations previously made with human enterocytes obtained from intestinal biopsies. The lectin-carbohydrate nature of this cell-cell recognition mechanism was also established. Bacterial binding to differentiated HT-29 cells was inhibited by a mixture of newborn meconium glycopeptides. By coating the cell layers with the plant agglutinin from Evonymus europaea, pathogen attachment was also prevented. Binding of 125I-labeled CS3 adhesin and E. europaea agglutinin to brush border membrane proteins separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose revealed three bands of about 30, 20, and 13 kilodaltons, which acted as receptors for both bacterial and plant lectins. These data suggest that the sugar units to which the bacterial colonization factor CS3 binds are synthesized as carbohydrate chains of three brush border membrane glycoproteins in HT-29 cells by a differentiation-specific pathway.
