Abstract

A 73-year-old man who was being treated with corticosteroids for nonsystemic vasculitic neuropathy developed small-bowel hemorrhage after ileostomy for ileus. Immunohistochemical staining for cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigen in the ulcer in the resected ileum was positive; thus, cytomegalovirus infection of the small intestine caused his gastrointestinal manifestations. Cytomegalovirus infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases in patients with collagen vascular diseases receiving immunosuppressive agents.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
