Overview
Endoscopy is not routinely indicated in infectious colitis. However, it is a useful in cases of diarrhea (bloody or non-bloody) with positive fecal leukocytes, but negative culture. It is also useful in distinguishing inflammatory bowel disease and infectious colitis. In most causes of infectious colitis, endoscopic findings are not pathognomonic. Common endoscopic features in infectious colitis include patchy or diffuse erythematous mucosa, mucosa edema, hemorrhage, with or without ulcers.[1][2]
