title: A case of Aeromonas hydrophila enteritis in the course of ulcerative colitis.
abstract: A 24-year-old man with a previous diagnosis of ulcerative pancolitis presented with severe malabsorption with watery diarrhea, malaise, and weight loss. Physical examination revealed paleness, hypotension, tachycardia, edema, ascites, and left-sided pleural effusion. Laboratory analysis revealed hypoalbuminemia and hypocalcemia. Further examination revealed that malabsorption was related to Aeromanas hydrophila infection. Clinical improvement was observed upon oral ciprofloxacin treatment. No clinical or laboratory activation of ulcerative colitis was detected during this infection.
