On the etiology of colitis in children
The question of the etiology of colitis in children still remains unclear, despite the large number of works in this area.
According to a number of authors (Blumenthal, Koltypin, etc.), colitis is polyetiological and is caused by more than one type of bacteria; the dysentery group (Shiaa, Flexner, etc.), the Escherichia coli group, b. Proteus vulgaris, b. Margani, streptococcus and b. perfringens, etc., can be the causative agents of the acute inflammatory process of the large intestine. But at the same time, many clinicians consider it possible to assert that colitis, which is taking on epidemic proportions, is caused mainly by the dysentery group of bacteria, regardless of whether they are hemorrhagic or simple mucous.
