Ileoscopy during colonoscopy may identify an ulcerative ileitis. This lesion likely contributes to gastrointestinal blood loss and other clinical manifestations, and likely is caused by NSAID use, including those usually associated with low toxicity or at low doses. Features of NSAID-ileitis overlap with Crohn's ileitis, but differentiation of the 2 entities is critical for appropriate management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
