Overview
There is no established classification system for infectious colitis. However, it may be classified based on class of the causative pathogen, route of infection, and duration of symptom. Based on the causative pathogen, infectious colitis may be classified into bacterial, viral, protozoan and fungal.
Classification
There is no established classification system for infectious colitis. However, it may be classified based on class of the pathogen, route of infection, and duration of symptom.
Classification by class of pathogen
- Bacteria: Clostridium difficile, Shigella dysenteriae, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Campylobacter jejuni, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Salmonella spp, Treponema pallidum, Yersinia enterocolitica
- Virus: Cytomegalovirus
- Protozoan: Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia
- Fungi: Aspergillus, blastomyces, coccidioides
Classification by route of infection
- Fecal-oral: Shigella dysenteriae, Escherichia coli O157:H7
- Rectal route: lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)
Classification by duration of symptoms
- Acute: Colitis develops within 14 days of diarrhea.[1]
- Chronic: Colitis develops 30 days or longer after diarrhea.[1]
