| Unspecific colitis |
 |
There
are several inflammations of the
colon, which canīt be classified into
categories endoscopically and histologically.
The left picture shows such a colitis in
this case of the cecum. A vunerable
mucosa with edema and missing
mucosal vessels is typical.
In most instances an infectious agent is
propably responsible, although it canīt be
recovered from the stool.
