    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Campylobacter infections are a common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis.
    • Distinguishing severe Campylobacter colitis from other forms of colitis is crucial for appropriate management.

    Observation:

    • Sigmoidoscopy and rectal biopsy were performed on eleven patients with Campylobacter-associated diarrhea.
    • Clinical, endoscopic, and histological features were assessed in patients with confirmed Campylobacter isolation.

    Findings:

    • Eight patients showed definite proctitis, with seven exhibiting abnormal biopsy results.
    • Histological findings ranged from non-specific colitis to severe colitis with goblet cell depletion and crypt abscesses.
    • Bloody stools and abdominal pain were prevalent symptoms, observed in nine and ten patients, respectively.

    Implications:

    • Severe Campylobacter colitis can present with features overlapping those of ulcerative colitis.
    • Campylobacter colitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute colitis, especially when accompanied by bloody stools and abdominal pain.
    • Accurate differentiation is essential for guiding treatment and preventing complications.
