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. Common infectious differential diagnoses and differentiating features are shown in the table below.
- Other bacterial infections
- 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:
- Acute pancreatitis
- Adrenal insufficiency and Waterhouse-Friedrichsen syndrome
- Allergy (e.g. insect bite allergy or anaphylaxis)
- Appendicitis
- Bowel obstruction
- Diverticulitis
- [[Drug reaction (e.g. antimicrobial agents, antihypertensive therapy, chemotherapy, anticonvulsants)
- Endometriosis
- Familial Mediterranean fever
- Gastrointestinal perforation
- Hyperthyroidism
- Ileus
- Intussusception
- Ischemic colitis
- Ketoacidosis
- Mesenteric ischemia
- Necrotizing enterocolitis
- Ogilvie syndrome
- Peritonitis
- Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Spider bite
- Poisoning and toxicity (e.g. carbon monoxide poisoning, organophosphate poisoning, digitoxin toxicity)
- Volvulus
- Urinary tract infection

The table below lists the underlying bacterial pathogens known to cause acute diarrhea:[1][2]
| Pathogen | Transmission | Clinical Manifestations | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fever | Nausea/Vomiting | Abdominal Pain | Bloody Stool | ||
| Salmonella | Foodborne transmission, community-acquired | ++ | + | ++ | + |
| Shigella | Community-acquired, person-to-person | ++ | ++ | ++ | + |
| Campylobacter | Community-acquired, ingestion of undercooked poultry | ++ | + | ++ | + |
| Escherichia coli | Foodborne transmission, ingestion of undercooked hamburger meat | - | + | ++ | + (EHEC or EIEC), - (ETEC, EAEC, EPEC) |
| Clostridium difficile | Nosocomial spread, antibiotic use | + | ± | + | + |
| Yersinia | Community-acquired, foodborne transmission | ++ | + | ++ | + |
| Entamoeba histolytica | Travel to or emigration from tropical regions | + | ± | + | ± |
| Aeromonas | Ingestion of contaminated water | ++ | + | ++ | + |
| Plesiomonas | Ingestion of contaminated water or undercooked shellfish, travel to tropical regions | ± | ++ | + | + |
