Reviewer's report
Title:Phlegmonous Colitis: Another Source of sepsis in cirrhotic patients?
Version: 3Date:9 October 2009
Reviewer: Elena Migliore
Reviewer's report:
Minor essential revisions: there is a recent case report under reported about
phlegmonous colitis in which the patient underwent an emergency laparotomy;
so the sentence "...to our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient who
underwent surgery for PC..." is not correct.
A fatal case of phlegmonous colitis in chronic hepatitis C receiving combination
interferon and ribavirin therapy. S.H. Pang, 1 K. de Silva, 2 J. Napoli 1 and B.E.
Jones 1. Intern Med J. 2009 Jul;39(7):481-4.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
