Abstract

Infectious colitis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and may be caused by a wide variety of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This chapter discusses the clinical and pathologic manifestations of the primary agents infecting the colon that may be seen by the surgical pathologist: the diarrheagenic bacteria in the family Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli, Aeromonas, Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, and Yersinia species), Clostridioides (formerly Clostridium) difficile, Bradyspira spirochetes causing intestinal spirochetosis, Aspergillus species, members of the Mucorales, Cryptococcus neoformans/C. gattii, Histoplasma capsulatum, cytomegalovirus, human immunodeficiency virus, Entamoeba histolytica, Balantidioides coli, Schistosoma species, and Trichuris trichiura. Also covered are the histopathologic differential diagnosis and recommended ancillary tests.
