Microscopic colitis (MC) is a chronic inflammation condition of the colon characterized by watery diarrhea and normal appearing mucosa. A 75-year-old female presented with one-year history of chronic diarrhea while taking cannabidiol (CBD) for pain. Colonoscopy with random colon biopsies revealed collagenous colitis. She started budesonide and stopped CBD. At six-week follow-up, her diarrhea improved, and the budesonide dose was decreased. She restarted CBD oil twice but had diarrhea both times. Her diarrhea resolved after taking budesonide and stopping CBD. We report a case of CBD-associated MC to make clinicians aware of this potential adverse effect in patients who chronically use CBD.
显微镜下结肠炎(MC)是一种结肠的慢性炎症性疾病,其特征为水样腹泻且黏膜外观正常。一名75岁女性在服用大麻二酚(CBD)止痛时有1年慢性腹泻病史。结肠镜检查及随机结肠活检显示为胶原性结肠炎。她开始使用布地奈德并停用CBD。在6周随访时,她的腹泻有所改善,布地奈德剂量减少。她两次重新开始使用CBD油,但两次均出现腹泻。在服用布地奈德并停用CBD后,她的腹泻得到缓解。我们报告一例与CBD相关的MC病例,以让临床医生意识到长期使用CBD的患者可能出现这种不良反应。
