==Overview==
'''Proctocolitis''' is a general term for [[inflammation]] of the [[rectum]] and [[Colon (anatomy)|colon]] particularly distal part of the colon([[sigmoid]])<ref>Online Medical dictionary[http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?proctocolitis]</ref>. Common causes of proctocolitis include ''[[Chlamydia trachomatis]]'', ''[[Lymphogranuloma Venereum]]'', ''[[Neisseria gonorrhoeae]]'', [[Herpes Simplex Virus|HSV]], and [[Campylobacter]] species. The mainstay of therapy for infectious proctocolitis is [[antimicrobial]] therapy. The preferred regimen is a combination of [[Ceftriaxone]] and [[Doxycycline]]. Proctocolitis may be acute or chronic.
 
==Historical Perspective==
 
==Classification==
There is no established classification system for proctocolitis. However, it may be classified based on etiology, age and duration of symptom.
 
===Classification by etiology===
*[[Infectious]] 
**Viral
**Bacterial
**Fungal,
**Protozoan
**Atypical micro-organism.
*[[Allergic (eosinophilic)]]
*[[Vascular]]
*[[Autoimmune]]
*[[Drug-induced]]
*[[Radiation]]
*[[Chemical]]
*[[Idiopathic]]
 
===Classification by Age===
* '''Infantile''': Usually presents in early infancy.<ref name="pmid25976434">{{cite journal| author=Nowak-Węgrzyn A| title=Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome and allergic proctocolitis. | journal=Allergy Asthma Proc | year= 2015 | volume= 36 | issue= 3 | pages= 172-84 | pmid=25976434 | doi=10.2500/aap.2015.36.3811 | pmc=4405595 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=25976434  }} </ref><ref name="pmid11264489">{{cite journal| author=Pumberger W, Pomberger G, Geissler W| title=Proctocolitis in breast fed infants: a contribution to differential diagnosis of haematochezia in early childhood. | journal=Postgrad Med J | year= 2001 | volume= 77 | issue= 906 | pages= 252-4 | pmid=11264489 | doi= | pmc=1741985 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11264489  }} </ref><ref name="pmid21922029">{{cite journal| author=Alfadda AA, Storr MA, Shaffer EA| title=Eosinophilic colitis: epidemiology, clinical features, and current management. | journal=Therap Adv Gastroenterol | year= 2011 | volume= 4 | issue= 5 | pages= 301-9 | pmid=21922029 | doi=10.1177/1756283X10392443 | pmc=3165205 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=21922029  }} </ref>
* '''Adults'''
 
===Classification by duration of symptoms===
*Acute: for example allergic proctocolitis in infants.
*Chronic: Usually months to years, for example ulcerative colitis.
 
==Pathophysiology==
 
The exact pathophysiology of proctolcolitis is not fully understood. However, several mechanisms are hypothesized to play a role in the pathogenesis.<ref name="pmid25976434">{{cite journal| author=Nowak-Węgrzyn A| title=Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome and allergic proctocolitis. | journal=Allergy Asthma Proc | year= 2015 | volume= 36 | issue= 3 | pages= 172-84 | pmid=25976434 | doi=10.2500/aap.2015.36.3811 | pmc=4405595 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=25976434  }} </ref><ref name="pmid11264489">{{cite journal| author=Pumberger W, Pomberger G, Geissler W| title=Proctocolitis in breast fed infants: a contribution to differential diagnosis of haematochezia in early childhood. | journal=Postgrad Med J | year= 2001 | volume= 77 | issue= 906 | pages= 252-4 | pmid=11264489 | doi= | pmc=1741985 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11264489  }} </ref><ref name="pmid21922029">{{cite journal| author=Alfadda AA, Storr MA, Shaffer EA| title=Eosinophilic colitis: epidemiology, clinical features, and current management. | journal=Therap Adv Gastroenterol | year= 2011 | volume= 4 | issue= 5 | pages= 301-9 | pmid=21922029 | doi=10.1177/1756283X10392443 | pmc=3165205 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=21922029  }} </ref><ref name="pmid22144997">{{cite journal| author=Do NL, Nagle D, Poylin VY| title=Radiation proctitis: current strategies in management. | journal=Gastroenterol Res Pract | year= 2011 | volume= 2011 | issue=  | pages= 917941 | pmid=22144997 | doi=10.1155/2011/917941 | pmc=3226317 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=22144997  }} </ref><ref name="pmid19109862">{{cite journal| author=Kountouras J, Zavos C| title=Recent advances in the management of radiation colitis. | journal=World J Gastroenterol | year= 2008 | volume= 14 | issue= 48 | pages= 7289-301 | pmid=19109862 | doi= | pmc=2778112 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19109862  }} </ref><ref name="pmidPMID: 22208542">{{cite journal| author=Shih HY, Wu DC, Huang WT, Chang YY, Yu FJ| title=Glutaraldehyde-induced colitis: case reports and literature review. | journal=Kaohsiung J Med Sci | year= 2011 | volume= 27 | issue= 12 | pages= 577-80 | pmid=PMID: 22208542 | doi=10.1016/j.kjms.2011.06.036 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=22208542  }} </ref><ref name="pmid18521689">{{cite journal| author=Abhishek K, Kaushik S, Kazemi MM, El-Dika S| title=An unusual case of hematochezia: acute ischemic proctosigmoiditis. | journal=J Gen Intern Med | year= 2008 | volume= 23 | issue= 9 | pages= 1525-7 | pmid=18521689 | doi=10.1007/s11606-008-0673-2 | pmc=2518031 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=18521689  }} </ref>
 
==Causes==
Proctocolitis has many possible causes. Common infectious causes of proctocolitis include ''[[Chlamydia trachomatis]]'', [[Lymphogranuloma Venereum|LGV (Lymphogranuloma Venereum)]], ''[[Neisseria gonorrhoeae]]'', [[Herpes Simplex Virus|HSV]], and [[Campylobacter|Campylobacter species]]. It can also be idiopathic (see [[colitis]]), vascular (as in [[ischemic colitis]]), or autoimmune (as in [[inflammatory bowel disease]]).

*Generally, the following regimen is recommended:
:: Preferred regimen: [[Ceftriaxone]] 250 mg IM {{and}} [[Doxycycline]] 100 mg PO bid for 7 days
