Abstract
A 33-yr-old long-distance runner had 3 episodes of bloody diarrhea, all occurring after competitive marathon runs. Colonoscopy revealed a small lesion in the cecum histologically compatible with ischemia of the mucosa. The discussion centers on the pathophysiology of impaired intestinal blood supply during excessive effort and the frequency of gastrointestinal symptoms and occult blood loss due to jogging.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
