Sigmoidoscopic appearance of infectious colitis and chronic idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease may be indistinguishable. The mucosal appearance of Clostridium difficile infection is also variable, although the adherent yellow-white plaques, or ‘pseudomembrane’, is characteristic.
Relapse after treatment of Clostridium difficile is common, occurring in 30% of cases.
Erythema nodosum may occur with Campylobacter infection.
