Overview
Ulcerative colitis shows intestinal and extra intestinal findings on physical examination. These include abdominal tenderness, fever, pallor, inflammation of the iris and uvea, skin rash, inflammation of the joints, aphthous ulcers and clubbing of the fingers.[1][2]
Physical Examination
As ulcerative colitis is a systemic disease, patients may present with symptoms and complications outside the colon. These include the following:[1][3][4][5][6]
General appearance
- Normal appearance in mild disease
- Pallor may be noticed
Vital signs
Gastrointestinal
- Normal in mild disease
- Abdominal tenderness when palpated in severe disease
- Blood seen on rectal exam
Eyes
The ophthalmic physical exam findings may include:
- Iritis or uveitis, which is inflammation of the iris
- Episcleritis
Musculoskeletal
- Seronegative arthritis, which can be a large-joint oligoarthritis (affecting one or two joints), or may affect many small joints of the hands and feet
- Ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis of the spine
- Sacroiliitis, arthritis of the lower spine
Skin
- Erythema nodosum, which is a panniculitis, or inflammation of subcutaneous tissue involving the lower extremities
- Pyoderma gangrenosum, which is a painful ulcerating lesion involving the skin
Other
- Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
- Clubbing, a deformity of the ends of the fingers
- Primary sclerosing cholangitis, or inflammation of the bile ducts
- Aphthous ulcers of the mouth
