Cirrhosis as a consequence of graft-versus-host disease
Knapp AB; Crawford JM; Rappeport JM; Gollan JL
1987 Feb;92(2):513-519, Gastroenterology
A 28-yr-old woman with severe idiopathic aplastic anemia received an HLA-identical mixed lymphocyte culture nonreactive bone marrow transplant from her brother. In the months after successful engraftment, she developed cutaneous and hepatic graft-versus-host disease, associated with marked cholestatic jaundice. Despite a series of therapeutic maneuvers, cholestasis persisted but remained relatively stable over the ensuing 10 yr. However, serial liver biopsies revealed progressive biliary-type fibrosis culminating in cirrhosis. Subsequently, her clinical course deteriorated and she developed signs of hepatic failure, and ultimately died 10.5 yr after bone marrow transplantation. The evolution of chronic graft-versus-host disease to cirrhosis may be a limiting factor in the long-term survival of this group of bone marrow transplant recipients. The lack of correlation between the stable clinical or biochemical indices and the progressive hepatic disease underscores the need for sequential liver biopsies in patients with sustained liver function abnormalities after bone marrow transplantation

Nonsurgical (spontaneous) spleno-renal shunt presenting as an abdominal mass: case report and review of the literature
Knapp AB; Chopra S; Jay ME
1985 Feb;80(2):103-106, American journal of gastroenterology
A case of an unusually large nonsurgical (spontaneous) spleno-renal shunt presenting as an abdominal mass is described. The diagnosis was first suggested by the finding of a lobulated, serpiginous, contrast-enhancing mass in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen by body CT scanning, and then confirmed by selective abdominal angiography. This represents the first report of the use of body CT scanning with contrast enhancement in the diagnosis of nonsurgical (spontaneous) spleno-renal shunts

Cotton-wool spots as a sign in leptospirosis (Weil's disease)
Gutman I; Walsh JB; Knapp AB
1983 ;187(3):133-136, Ophthalmologica
A 44-year-old black male presented with fever, myalgia and weakness. He had elevated blood urea nitrogen, creatine phosphokinase and serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase. During the first 6 days of this undiagnosed illness azotemia increased, a pericardial friction rub occurred, and hematuria was present. On the 7th day bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhages, anterior uveitis, and peripapillary cotton-wool spots were noted. This combination of findings suggested leptospirosis, which was subsequently confirmed by specific antibody titers. Therapeutic response was achieved with high-dose systemic steroids

Widespread cytomegalovirus gastroenterocolitis in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
Knapp AB; Horst DA; Eliopoulos G; Gramm HF; Gaber LW; Falchuk KR; Falchuk ZM; Trey C
1983 Dec;85(6):1399-1402, Gastroenterology
This case report documents extensive gastrointestinal cytomegalovirus infection in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, presenting as diarrhea and involving stomach, duodenum, and colon. Endoscopic biopsy specimens and cultures were essential to make the diagnosis and to distinguish the illness from inflammatory bowel disease. A careful search for other potential pathogens was made as well. The discussion includes a review of literature regarding cytomegalovirus involvement of the gastrointestinal tract

The cimetidine-lidocaine interaction
Knapp AB; Maguire W; Keren G; Karmen A; Levitt B; Miura DS; Somberg JC
1983 Feb;98(2):174-177, Annals of internal medicine
Lidocaine is a widely used antiarrhythmic agent whose plasma clearance varies with changes in hepatic blood flow. Cimetidine, an H2-receptor antagonist, has been shown to decrease hepatic blood flow. To ascertain whether cimetidine affected serum lidocaine concentration, we studied 21 patients receiving lidocaine infusions and divided them into two groups. Fifteen patients received cimetidine, 300 mg every 6 hours, in addition to lidocaine; six patients received only lidocaine. In 14 of the 15 patients receiving both lidocaine and cimetidine, a rise in serum lidocaine levels was seen, whereas no change was noted in the control group. Six of the 15 patients were found to have levels in the toxic range and two had symptoms. An additional three patients on lidocaine received diphenhydramine, an H1-receptor antagonist. No elevation in serum lidocaine levels was noted after administration of diphenhydramine. We conclude that there exists an interaction between lidocaine and cimetidine and that the rise in serum lidocaine levels may be mediated by cimetidine's inhibition of the H2 receptor

Markedly elevated creatinine phosphokinase, cotton wool spots, and pericarditis in a patient with leptospirosis
Farkas PS; Knapp AB; Lieberman H; Guttman I; Mayan S; Bloom AA
1981 Mar;80(3):587-589, Gastroenterology
We are reporting a patient with acute leptospirosis whose creatinine phosphokinase was markedly elevated secondary to an associated myositis. In patients presenting with acute hepatitis, an elevated creatinine phosphokinase should suggest the diagnosis of leptospirosis. Our patient's course of illness was made unusual by the appearance of cotton wool spots, previously unreported in leptospirosis as well as by pericarditis in the absence of uremia. This illustrates our ever widening recognition of the clinical manifestations of leptospirosis
