Thread 2/4 Key points: Need to consider SB ACA in CD pt with change in phenotype. Crohn's about 10Xs gen pop for SB ACA. RFs: ♂️, young age at Dx, long disease duration, multiple resections, diverted bowel, immunosuppressive use. All of which our patient had.
Thread 1/4 NL CRP,⬇️🔥 on CT 🚫 response to IV steroids🟰fibrotic stricture. CT angiography neg.. Enteroscopy not attempted d/t dilated SB. ALSO phenotype change: melena and weight loss raised 🚩🚩. So ✂️ and found to have jejunal adenoCA, 🚫nodes or metz.
Nutrition is also a huge part of managing this case. Depending upon how much weight he has lost and how little he is eating, may need to start TPN. This would also help optimize nutritional status if he needs surgery.
The ACIP recently recommended additional updated bivalent dose for adults ages 65 years and older and for people who are immunocompromised.
1) At this time while some patients with IBD may qualify I think most patients don't need an additional dose know.
