Case description

Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter colitis are very rarely complicated by toxic dilatation, and can usually be differentiated from IBD by histology and endoscopic biopsy. Toxic megacolon may also complicate hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic–uremic syndrome secondary to infection with E. coli.
