Overview
Allergic colitis can be classified into two subtypes based on the anatomical site involved, proctocolitis and enterocolitis.[1][2][3]. Allergic colitis manifests more commonly as proctocolitis. It is also more common among infants.
Classification
Based on the anatomical area involved, allergic colitis may be classified into:[1][2][3]
- Food protein-induced proctocolitis
- Food protein-induced enterocolitis
Based on Age, allergic colitis can be classified into:[2]
- Infantile
- Adolescent/Adult
Based on immune mechanism, it can be classified into:[2][4]
- Atopic (IgE mediated)
- Non atopic (non- IgE mediated)
Based on the duration of symptoms and presentation, allergic colitis may be classified into:[1]
- Acute: Minutes to few hours after coming in ingesting the offending protein.
- Chronic: Weeks after ingesting the offending protein. Presentation is due to accumulative effect of the protein.
