Harms B, Bremner AR, Mulligan J, Fairhurst J, Griffiths DM, Salmon T, Beattie RM. Crohn's disease post-cardiac transplantation presenting with severe growth failure and delayed onset of puberty. Pediatr Allergy Immunol 2004: 15: 186–189. © 2004 Blackwell Munksgaard We report a 15 yr-old girl who 10 yr post-cardiac transplantation presented with severe growth failure and delayed onset of puberty. She was found to have pan-enteric Crohn's disease and has done remarkably well on principally nutritional therapy with a significant growth spurt and the onset of menarche. The development of bowel disease whilst on immunosuppression is rare and the literature is reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
