Microscopic colitis is a recently identified cause of chronic diarrhea. This review highlights the lack of research on this condition in developing nations, where diarrhea is common.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Diarrhea is a prevalent global symptom, particularly in developing countries.
  • Diagnostic capabilities for diarrhea causes differ significantly between developed and developing nations.
  • In developing countries, diarrhea is often presumed to be infectious, leading to self-medication and potentially missed diagnoses of other causes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review microscopic colitis syndrome as a cause of chronic diarrhea.
  • To highlight the limited existing literature on microscopic colitis from developing countries.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on microscopic colitis.
  • Analysis of publications concerning diarrhea causes in developing countries.

Main Results:

  • Microscopic colitis is a recently described syndrome causing chronic diarrhea.
  • There is a significant scarcity of published research on microscopic colitis originating from developing countries.

Conclusions:

  • The assumption of infectious etiology for all diarrhea cases in developing countries may be inaccurate.
  • Further research is needed to understand the prevalence and characteristics of microscopic colitis in developing regions.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to ensure appropriate treatment for all causes of chronic diarrhea, including non-infective ones.
