title: Nonspecific ulcerative proctitis.
abstract: Nonspecific (ulcerative) proctitis/proctosigmoiditis has been recognized as a clinical entity for many years. Based on clinical data accumulated over the past 25 years it can be considered a form of ulcerative colitis, indistinguishable from that extending more proximally throughout the large intestine and characterized primarily by extent of disease.
