Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 45-year-old Mexican woman with a history of noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), hypertension, and coronary artery disease presented to the hospital after 2 months of intractable nausea, vomiting and diarrhea-all made worse by eating and drinking. She reported fever, chills, anorexia and a documented 50-pound weight loss during this period. She denied the signs and symptoms of melena, hematochezia, steatorrhea or constipation. She also reported left leg pain and decreased sensation and strength of her left leg compared to the right leg. She had been hospitalized 2 weeks prior to admission with the same symptoms and a diagnosis of viral gastroenteritis. She was also treated for H. pylori, but subsequent biopsy results were negative by Steiner stain. |
