| sprue, tropical | A malabsorption syndrome occurring in the tropics and subtropics. Protein malnutrition is usually precipitated by the malabsorption, and anaemia due to folic acid deficiency is particularly common. Administration of antibiotics (especially tetracycline) and folic acid usually results in remission. (12 Dec 1998) |

| celiac sprue | <gastroenterology> An inherited disease where the intestinal lining is inflamed in response to the ingestion of a protein known as gluten. Gluten is present in many grains including rye, oats, barley and triticale. Symptoms in infants include diarrhoea, slow growth, bloody stools, weight loss, vomiting and clay-coloured stools. Symptoms in adults include abdominal distention, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss, bone pain and bone tenderness. Treatment involves the life-long avoidance of gluten. (10 Jan 1998) |

| sprue / coeliac disease | <radiology> Gluten enteropathy, coeliac disease (kids), nontropical sprue (adults), hypersensitivity to gluten, treatment: remove gluten from diet, tropical sprue, clinically and radiologically similar to nontropical sprue, treatment: folate, B-12, antibiotics, associated with ** transient intussusception, oesophageal carcinoma and small bowel carcinoma (QUESTIONABLE!!), diffuse intestinal lymphoma (rare; except in Middle East) (12 Dec 1998) |
| sprue-former | The base to which the sprue is attached while the wax pattern is being invested in a refractory investment in a casting flask; it is sometimes referred to as a crucible-former. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sprue, nontropical | This condition results from an immune (allergic) reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat and related grains and present in many foods that we eat. Sprue causes impaired absorption and digestion of nutrients through the small intestine. Symptoms include requent diarrhoea and weight loss. A skin condition called dermatitis herpetiformis can be associated with coeliac sprue. The most accurate diagnostic test for sprue is a biopsy of the involved small bowel. Treatment is to avoid gluten in the diet. Medications are used for refractory (stubborn) sprue. Known under a number of other names, including coeliac sprue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nontropical sprue | <infectious disease> An inherited disease where the intestinal lining is inflamed in response to the ingestion of a protein known as gluten. Gluten is present in many grains including rye, oats, barley and triticale. Symptoms in infants include diarrhoea, slow growth, bloody stools, weight loss, vomiting and clay-coloured stools. Symptoms in adults include abdominal distention, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss, bone pain and bone tenderness. Treatment involves the life-long avoidance of gluten. (13 Nov 1997) |
| macrocytic anaemia tropical | The macrocytic, megaloblastic anaemia of tropical sprue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paraparesis, tropical spastic | Subacute paralytic myeloneuropathy occurring endemically in tropical areas such as the caribbean, colombia, india, and africa, as well as in the southwestern region of japan; associated with infection by type I human lymphotropic retrovirus (HTLV-I). Toxic nutritional factors have largely been ruled out as the cause of this syndrome, the primary clinical feature of which is progressive weakness of the legs and lower body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tropical | 1. Of or pertaining to the tropics; characteristic of, or incident to, the tropics; being within the tropics; as, tropical climate; tropical latitudes; tropical heat; tropical diseases. 2.

A condition of unknown cause. Abnormalities in the lining of the small intestine prevent the body from absorbing food normally. This disease is not associated with non tropical sprue or gluten enteropathy. It has been associated with travel and residence in tropical areas.
