Hello,

I see you are asking "What are the causes for colitis gravis?"

For example, sudden (acute) colitis may be caused by infection with various microorganisms (infectious colitis), including Salmonella, Shigella, and Entamoeba histolytica. (Intestinal infection with the latter is known as Amebiasis.)
