BACKGROUND: Lymphocytic colitis (LC) in the pediatric population has been associated with immune dysregulation.
METHODS: Single-center retrospective study of pediatric LC.
RESULTS: 50 patients (35 female, 70%) with a median age of 12 years at diagnosis (interquartile range: 5.7-15.8) of LC were identified. At presentation, 11 patients (22%) had malnutrition, 16 (32%) had a known underlying immune dysregulation, 4 (8%) had celiac disease (CD), and none had a diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease. The most common medications prior to diagnosis were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, proton pump inhibitor, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (10% each). Colonic biopsies showed a median number of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs)/100 epithelial cells of 48 (range: 25-85), and only 10% of cases had neutrophilic cryptitis. Upper gastrointestinal tract findings included lymphocytic esophagitis (4%), and duodenal IELs without and with villous blunting (9% each) (n: 47). Ten patients (23%) had increased IELs in the terminal ileum (n: 43). Treatments including 5-ASA, budesonide, prednisone, and gluten-free diet improved symptoms in <50% of patients (n: 42), and all follow-up colonoscopies showed persistent LC (n: 13).
CONCLUSION: Our study supports the association of LC with immune-mediated conditions, most commonly celiac disease. Symptomatic improvement was seen in <50% of patients with none of the patients with repeat colonoscopy showing histologic improvement.
