==Overview==
'''Proctocolitis''' is a general term for [[inflammation]] of the [[rectum]] and [[Colon (anatomy)|colon]] particularly distal part of the colon(sigmoid)<ref>Online Medical dictionary[http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?proctocolitis]</ref>. Common causes of proctocolitis include ''[[Chlamydia trachomatis]]'', ''[[Lymphogranuloma Venereum]]'', ''[[Neisseria gonorrhoeae]]'', [[Herpes Simplex Virus|HSV]], and [[Campylobacter]] species. The mainstay of therapy for proctocolitis is [[antimicrobial]] therapy. The preferred regimen is a combination of [[Ceftriaxone]] and [[Doxycycline]].
 
==Historical Perspective==
 
==Classification==
There is no established classification system for proctocolitis. However, proctocolitis may be classified based on causality into
*[[Infectious]] 
*Non-infectious
*Infectious proctocolitis may be viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoan, and atypical micro-organism.
*Non-infectious proctocolitis may be allergic (eosinophilic), vascular, autoimmune, drug-induced, radiation, chemical, and idiopathic.
 
==Pathophysiology==
 
==Causes==
Proctocolitis has many possible causes. Common infectious causes of proctocolitis include ''[[Chlamydia trachomatis]]'', [[Lymphogranuloma Venereum|LGV (Lymphogranuloma Venereum)]], ''[[Neisseria gonorrhoeae]]'', [[Herpes Simplex Virus|HSV]], and [[Campylobacter|Campylobacter species]]. It can also be idiopathic (see [[colitis]]), vascular (as in [[ischemic colitis]]), or autoimmune (as in [[inflammatory bowel disease]]).
