Overview
In 1893, J. M. T. Finney described pseudomembranes in the colon of a 22 year old post operative patient. Shigella was first discovered by Dr. Kiyoshi Shiga following a bacillary dysentery outbreak in Japan in 1896. Several outbreaks have occurred since then.
Historical perspective
- In 1893, J. M. T. Finney described presence of pseudomembranes in the colon of a 22 year old post operative patient.
- Shigella was first discovered by Dr. Kiyoshi Shiga following a bacillary dysentery outbreak in Japan in 1896. Several outbreaks have occurred since then.
- The first description of Campylobacter was by Theodore Escherich in 1886, when he reported a spiral shaped bacteria, found in the colon of children with "cholera infantum”.
The historical perspective of infectious colitis depends on the causative pathogen as follows:
- Shigella spp.
- Campylobacter jejuni
- Clostridium difficile
- Escherichia coli
- Nontyphoidal Salmonella
- Entameoba histolytica
- Chlamydia trachomatis
- Cytomegalovirus
- Yersinia enterocolitica
