Pneumococcal colitis: report of a case with radiologic and endoscopic findings.
Gastrointestinal symptoms and signs have been reported in association with pneumococcal infection for many years. Only rarely has Streptococcus pneumoniae been reported as a bowel pathogen. We report the clinical, radiographic, colonoscopic, and pathologic features of a case of pneumococcal colitis in an otherwise healthy 3.5-year-old female.
