title: [Salmonella colitis].
abstract: Salmonella colitis is defined on the basis of 3 case reports and 75 well-documented cases from the literature. Salmonella colitis is an acute ulcerative colitis occurring in enteric salmonellosis. There is complete clinical and endoscopic remission within 4--8 weeks and no relapse. The disease is to be distinguished from idiopathic ulcerative colitis in a salmonella carrier state. The difficulties of this differential diagnosis are demonstrated in a further case report.
