Does oral human serum immunoglobulin improve resolution of diarrhea in patients with Norwalk virus enteritis after small bowel transplantation?
Oral human serum immunoglobulin may be an effective treatment for Norwalk virus enteritis following small bowel transplantation.
Oral HSIG merits evaluation in post-transplant Norwalk enteritis; leaves open efficacy pending controlled trials.
Protracted diarrhea is a challenging problem after small bowel transplantation. We report two patients who developed Norwalk virus enteritis after small bowel transplantation. Both received oral HSIG with resolution of diarrhea within 48 h.
