  1. GI tract infections in IBD: Detection and treatment of Clostridium difficile, CMV and enteric pathogens: Case studies David G. Binion, MD Bruce E. Sands, MD, MS

  2. Case 2: Severe Pouch Inflammation • 32 yo woman undergoing a 3 stage colectomy and J pouch reconstruction for refractory ulcerative colitis • Diagnosed with UC at age 22, maintained on mesalamine, then worsening of disease 3 years ago. Escalation to immunomodulator and infliximab with no improvement • Colectomy for steroid dependent, poorly controlled disease; end ileostomy (6 months earlier). • J pouch and diverting loop ileostomy (2 months earlier

  3. Case 2: Severe Pouch Inflammation • Pt employed as dental hygienist in VA Hospital and domicillary • Admitted with 2 weeks of worsening rectal discharge, pelvic and abdominal pain; fevers. • Admitted to surgical service • Exam • Febrile to 101, tachycardic • Abdomen: distended, hypoactive bowel sounds, tender • Stenosis at the anal cuff/pouch anastomosis

  4. Case 2: Severe Pouch Inflammation • What diagnostic tests on admission? • Pouchoscopy • CT scan of abdomen and pelvis

  5. Endoscopic appearance of the J pouch and proximal ileum • Ileum above J pouch downstream from diverting loop ileostomy • J pouch with diverting loop ileostomy Hamlin P J et al. Postgrad Med J 2004;80:233-235

  6. Case 2: Severe Pouch Inflammation • J pouch with diverting loop ileostomy (contrast passes into the ostomy) • Dilated bowel loops in diverted, downstream small bowel • Bowel wall thickening • Ascites

  7. Case 2: Severe Pouch Inflammation • Stool sample sent from pouchoscopy • C difficileis detected • What are data regarding C difficileinfection of small bowel and J pouch?

  8. Case 2: Severe Pouch InflammationC difficileenteritis: An early complication in IBD patients following colectomy • Rare but associated with significant morbidity with mortality rates ranging from 60-83% • Institutional series of six patients (2004-2006). C difficileenteritismanifested with high volume watery ileostomy output, ileus, fever with leukocytosis. No mortality with prompt diagnosis and therapy Miller, D.L et al. Arch Surg, 1989; 124: p. 1082. Jacobs, A., et al.Medicine, 2001; 80: p. 88-101. Hayetian, F.D., et al. Arch Surg, 2006; 141: p. 97-9. LundeenS et al. J GastroentestSurg2007; 11:138-142 Surawicz C. et al. Am J Gastroenterol 2013; 108: 478-498.

  9. Case 2: Severe Pouch InflammationHow can we treat diverted bowel? • Oral metronidazole • Intravenous metronidazole • Oral vancomycin • Vancomycin enema • Injection of vancomycin into loop ileostomy • Intravenous vancomycin Lundeen S et al. J GastroentestSurg2007; 11:138-142 Surawicz C. et al. Am J Gastroenterol 2013; 108: 478-498. Zuckerbraun B. et al. Ann Surgery 2011; 254: 423-7.

  10. Case 2: Severe Pouch InflammationHow can we treat diverted bowel? • Metronidazole is rapidly absorbed and will enter distal GI tract after biliary excretion (normal bowel) • Metronidazole in bloodstream will cross into lumen of inflamed mucosa • Vancomycin oral delivery will not enter distal, diverted small bowel • Vancomycin enema is effective; strictured anal cuff/pouch anastomosis made this initially • Injection (lavage) of vancomycin flushes into the afferent limb of loop ileostomy Lundeen S et al. J GastroentestSurg2007; 11:138-142 Surawicz C. et al. Am J Gastroenterol 2013; 108: 478-498. Zuckerbraun B. et al. Ann Surgery 2011; 254: 423-7.

  11. Case 2: Severe Pouch InflammationHow can we treat diverted bowel? • Patient responded to vancomycin flushes into the loop ileostomy • Dilation of the anastomotic stricture allowed for vancomycin enema therapy to be initiated • Recurrence of C difficileafter initial therapy stopped after 2 weeks. • Prolonged vancoymcin used until time of the loop ileostomy takedown Lundeen S et al. J GastroentestSurg2007; 11:138-142 Surawicz C. et al. Am J Gastroenterol 2013; 108: 478-498. Zuckerbraun B. et al. Ann Surgery 2011; 254: 423-7.

  12. Case 2: Severe Pouch InflammationLong-term results after takedown of diverting ileostomy

  13. Case 3: Is this C difficile? • 38 yo woman with 10 year history of Crohn’s colitis on azathioprine and adalimumab therapy in durable remission becomes sick with first colitis flare in 4 years. C difficileinfection at time of diagnosis. • Patient contacts office with complaint of 10 loose bowel movements per day, nocturnal bowel movements, abdominal pain • Patient was visiting elderly relative in hospital and long-term care facility over the past month • It is Friday afternoon. Stool testing cannot be brought to lab until Monday • What should we do?

  14. Case 3: Is this C difficile? • Oral vancomycin is started – 125 mg four times per day • Patient improves over initial 3 days • Stool sample is brought in while patient is on therapy, and is negative • How accurate is stool analysis if the patient is on therapy?

  15. Case 3: Diagnostic Tests for C difficile Gene Target Chemistry/Manufacturer Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV Gold standard tcdBProdesse (Gen-Probe Prodesse, Waukesha, WI, USA) 77.3 99.2 99.2 99.4 TC tcdB BD GeneOhm (BD Diagnostics, LaJolla, CA, USA) 96.4 99.1 99.6 91.4 Composite tcdB Cepheid (Sunnyvale, CA, USA) 97.1 93.0 72.3 99.4 CCCNA tcdB BD GeneOhm 88.5 95.4 88.5 95.4 TC tcdB BD GeneOhm 83.6 98.2 89.5 97.1 TC tcdC FRET 86 97 90 96 TC tcdB SYBR green 93.3 97.4 75.7 99.4 Composite tcdBTaqman-FAM 87.1 96.5 60.0 99.2 CCCNA

  16. Time to conversion of CDI test to negative while on therapy by treatment (vanco n=20) Proportion PCR positive Sunkesula V et al. Clin Infect Dis. 2013;57:494-500

  17. Case 3: Is this C difficile? • Nucleic acid testing for C difficileis a major advance in the laboratory diagnosis of CDI, but it cannot be the basis for withholding therapy in situations where pre-test suspicion is high • Once on therapy, sensitivity of PCR based detection of C difficiledecreases rapidly • Once initiated, commit to treatment. No rationale for retesting for C difficileduring initial treatment time period Surawicz C. et al. Am J Gastroenterol 2013; 108: 478-498.

  20. Fidaxomicin and vancomycin for initial C. difficileinfection: 30 day recurrence Louie et al. N Engl J Med 364 (5):422-431, 2011.

  21. Recurrent C difficilein IBD • Prolonged antibiotic therapy (oral vancomycin) • Fecal microbiome transplant (FMT) • Associated with IBD flare • Resolution of recurrent CDI in IBD De Leon L, Watson JB, Kelly CR.

Last colonoscopy performed 2 years prior showed healthy anastomosis, diverticuli. • Oral mesalamine maintenance therapy • Visits with individuals in hospital and nursing home regularly. Diaper changing of new granddaughter.
