要旨●消化管はさまざまな感染症の好発部位である.それらの原因病原体の検出・同定において生検病理診断は重要な役割を果たしている.一部の病原体は特定の細胞・組織に親和性を示すので,上皮や間質構成細胞を含む組織を生検することが推奨される.HE染色による形態学的観察に特殊染色や免疫組織化学染色による検索を加えることによって診断の精度向上が期待できる.なお,免疫不全患者の炎症反応は概して弱く,しばしば非典型的であり,数種類の病原体が混合感染していることもあるので病理診断には注意を要する.基礎疾患,薬歴,渡航歴などの患者情報と種々の検査結果を踏まえて,生検組織を丁寧に検索すれば,より正確な診断に近づくことができると考えられる.
The gastrointestinal tract is a major target organ of infectious disease. Biopsy plays a key role in determining the infectious agents. Some infectious agents show tissue tropism in epithelial cells and/or mesenchymal cells. Therefore, sufficient tissue should be removed for histopathological examination. A systematic diagnostic approach(e.g., special and immunohistochemical staining methods)should lead to accurate diagnosis. In severely immunodeficient patients(e.g., patients with AIDS or patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy or chemotherapy), inflammatory patterns are usually atypical and unreliable, and they are consistent with the pauci-inflammatory pattern. Additionally, the possibility of coexisting infections should always be considered. A more thorough patient history(e.g., including their birthplace, recent travels, underlying disease, and medication)and further laboratory data should lead to a better understanding of such cases.
