Abstract

BACKGROUND: Collagenous colitis is a diarrheal illness of unknown cause. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of collagenous colitis related to lansoprazole exposure. STUDY: Case report. RESULTS: A patient is described who developed clinical and pathologic findings of collagenous colitis during treatment with lansoprazole and omeprazole. Symptoms of diarrhea and histopathologic abnormalities resolved after drug withdrawal and recurred with re-exposure to lansoprazole. CONCLUSIONS: The observations are compatible with collagenous colitis or lymphocytic colitis associated with exposure to lansoprazole.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
