title: Forms of colitis--a review of recent developments.
abstract: Recent advances in the accessibility of the bowel and in techniques for the study of colonic pathology have resulted in descriptions of several forms of colitis which were previously unrecognized and in elucidation of the etiology of previously described but poorly understood entities. Present knowledge of antibiotic-associated colitis, colitis indeterminate, acute self-limited colitis, collagenous colitis and the colitis of food allergy is reviewed.
