Focal acute colitis is an inflammatory condition of the colon characterized by localized areas of inflammation, often resulting from infectious agents, ischemia, or other underlying conditions. It can present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. Diagnosis typically involves colonoscopy and histopathological examination of biopsies. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and managing symptoms, which may include antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications.
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.) You can also visit this site - digestive tract health. com/condition/colitis-gravis/c/7364
