Overview

Differentiating Escherichia coli Enteritis from other Diseases

  • Enteritis caused by E. coli must be differentiated from other causes of acute diarrhea (with or without blood) and abdominal pain.
  • Differential diagnosis of E. coli enteritis includes the following:

Infectious Differential Diagnosis

The following are the infectious differential diagnoses of E. coli enteritis:

  • Other bacterial infections (see table below)
  • Viral infections (e.g. norovirus infection, HIV infection)
  • Fungal infections (e.g. Candida spp.)
  • Parasites (Giardia spp., E. histolytica, Cryptosporidium spp.)

Non-infectious Causes

The following are the non-infectious differential diagnoses of E. coli enteritis:









The table below lists the underlying bacterial pathogens known to cause acute diarrhea:[1][2]
