Symptoms and signs of infectious colitis are seen in other causes of colitis and some systemic diseases. Therefore, detailed history, physical examination and laboratory tests are needed to make the diagnosis. In addition, endoscopy with biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis. In infants and young children, infectious colitis must be differentiated from allergic colitis, necrotizing enterocolitis, intussusception, volvolus and early onset inflammatory bowel disease.

Overview
Symptoms and signs of infectious colitis are seen in other causes of colitis and some systemic diseases. Therefore, detailed history, physical examination and laboratory tests are needed to make the diagnosis. In addition, endoscopy with biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis. In infants and young children, infectious colitis must be differentiated from allergic colitis, necrotizing enterocolitis, intussusception, volvolus and early onset inflammatory bowel disease. In adolescents and adults, infectious colitis must be differentiated from inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal malignancy.[1][2]
