Overview

Allergic colitis can be classified into two subtypes based on the anatomical site involved, proctocolitis and enterocolitis. 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]

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.
