GIT InflammationsSmall & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis
Diarrhea: Increase in stool mass / frequency / fluidity**

GIT InflammationsSmall & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis
Diarrhea: Increase in stool mass / frequency / fluidity
Causes – Secretory (increased fluid output > 500 ml fluid stool / day)
- Infections (viral, enterotoxin, neoplasms) Osmotic (Osmotic force from intestinal solutes) (Reduces on fasting) Exudative (mucosal destruction)
- Infections (Bacterial, amoebic)
- Idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease Malabsorption Deranged motility
Dysentery: Diarrhea accompanied by pain, urgency, blood

GIT InflammationsSmall & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis
Common GI viruses : Rotavirus (Group A), Calcivirus, Adenovirus,
Astrovirus
Enteropathogenic Bacteria: Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella,
Campylobacter, Yersinia, Vibrio cholerae,
Clostridium difficile / perfringens, TB

GIT InflammationsSmall & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis
Bacterial Enterocolitis: (Food poisoning) Caused by
Ingestion of preformed toxin (staphylococcus aureus, vibrio,
clostridium perfringens / botulinum). Symptoms develop
within few hours and subsides in a day or two
Infection by toxigenic organisms: incubation period hours / days
followed by diarrhea or dysentery (travelers diarrhea)
Infection by enteroinvasive organisms: Dysentery after incubation
of few days

GIT InflammationsSmall & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis What makes a bacterium enteropathogenic?
Capable of adhesion to bowel mucosa (plasmid encoded proteins)
and replicate
Capable of producing enterotoxins which result in
- Excessive fluid and electrolyte excretion (eg. Cholera toxin)
- Direct tissue damage (cytotoxins) (Shigella toxin)
- Bind to antigen receptors on T cells in the mucosa and induce
production of cytokines which in turn stimulate motility
and
fluid secretion.
Capable of tissue invasion (E coli, Salmonella, Yersinia)

GIT Inflammations – Typhoid fever
Etiologic agent: Salmonella typhi, paratyphi A and B
Flagellated gram negative bacillus with O and H antigens
Bacteria excreted in stool, urine, vomitus
Transmitted through the fecal – oral route
Capable of causing local and systemic effects
Potentially life threatening
Chronic asymptomatic carrier state also can exist

Infected food / water Colonize in lower bowel
Invade bowel through M cells Initial proliferation of bacteria
( incubation)(Primary bacteremia)
Travel to RE system, gall bladder and proliferate Secondary
bacteremia (first week of fever)
Systemic manifestations (fever) and Abscesses in many tissues
Resolution of fever

Pathology of bowel
Incubation period – mild edema, congestion, hyperplasia of lymphoid
tissue
Invasive phase – Dilated small bowel, mucosal hyperemia, serosal
exudate widespread Peyer’s patch hyperplasia with invasion by
macophages (typhoid or Mallory cells)
Stage of febrile illness (Fastigium) – Mounting immune mechanisms,
release of toxins, ulceration of the intestinal lymphoid tissues,
(widespread necrotizing typhoid nodules in various organs)
MONONUCLEAR CELLS AND MACROPHAGES

Early fastigium: Peyers patches are raised, convoluted and shaggy
![Page 13: GIT Inflammations Small & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56814cff550346895dba2816/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Fastigium: Mucosa is bile stained. Peyers patches are hemorrhagic
Can result in perforation / massive internal hemorrhages
![Page 14: GIT Inflammations Small & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56814cff550346895dba2816/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Typhoid – Clinical features:
General symptoms like fever, malaise, chills, anorexia, headache, diarrhea
Bradycardia; Leucopenia
Complications: meningitis, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, disseminated abscesses, splenic rupture, intestinal perforation
In silent carriers (1-5%) , bacteria colonize in gall bladder and are excreted in the stool and urine

Mary Mallon (Typhoid Mary) (1869-1938)
Mallon was what's known as a healthy carrier-a person who is
contagious but has no symptoms. She had probably come
down with a mild, undetected case of typhoid fever in 1900
and had retained active germs ever since.

Lab Diagnosis of Typhoid fever
First Week of fever : Blood culture 80-90% positive
Second Week of fever : Stool and urine culture 80% positive
Widal test 50% positiveThird Week of fever : Stool and urine culture 80% positive
Widal test 70 - 90% positive
Carrier : Stool and Urine Culture

Tuberculosis of GIT
• Major health problem in the developing world
• Incidence increasing in association with AIDS
• Earlier, there was high association between pulmonary and GI TB
• Now GI tuberculosis may exist even with normal lung findings
• GIT infection may occur by
-Infected unpasteurized milk
-Swallowing of infected sputum in patients with active lung lesions
-Hematogenous spread from lung lesion
-Direct spread from neighbouring areas
![Page 19: GIT Inflammations Small & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56814cff550346895dba2816/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Tuberculosis of GIT
GIT infection may be
• PRIMARY (not common nowadays)
-Infected unpasteurized milk (M bovis).
Pathology will be mainly in mesenteric lymph nodes.
Small transient Gohn focus in gut
- Enlarged caseous lymphnodes (tabes mesenterica)
- Healing with fibrosis and calcification
- Tuberculous peritonitis
![Page 20: GIT Inflammations Small & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56814cff550346895dba2816/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tuberculosis of GIT
GIT infection may be
• SECONDARY
-Swallowing of infected sputum in patients with active lung lesions
-Hematogenous spread from lung lesion
-Direct spread from neighbouring areas
![Page 21: GIT Inflammations Small & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56814cff550346895dba2816/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
GIT Tuberculosis
Presents as
-Nonhealing ulcers on tongue / oropharynx
-Esophageal stricture, fistula
-Gastric ulcer, wall thickening
-Small bowel ulcers, stricture, perforation, fistula, obstruction
-Large bowel ulcers, obstruction, diarrhoea
-Anal canal ulcer, fistula, abscess
![Page 22: GIT Inflammations Small & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56814cff550346895dba2816/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tuberculosis of GIT - Secondary
- Bowel lesions are more prominent than lymphnode lesions
- Begin in Peyer patches / lymphoid follicles (ulcers), spread
through lymphatics and form large transverse ulcers
![Page 23: GIT Inflammations Small & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56814cff550346895dba2816/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ileocecal region – 90%
Three forms
• Ulcerative (60%) (ulcers are transverse)
• Hypertrophic (hyperplastic) (10%) (may mimic carcinoma)
• Ulceroproliferative (30%)
Ulcers are typically circumferential (typhoid is longitudinal)

Amoebiasis
(Entamoeba histolytica)
Protozoan parasite
Transmission – Fecal oral
Trophozoites attach to colonic epithelium and induce apoptosis, invade colonic crypts and enter lamina propria
Create typical flask shaped ulcers due to proteolytic enzymes and other proteins
Diagnosis by stool examination
![Page 25: GIT Inflammations Small & Large Bowel: Enterocolitis](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56814cff550346895dba2816/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Flask shaped ulcers
More of necrosis
Less of inflammation
