title: [MICROSCOPIC COLITIS: CURRENT STATE-OF-THE-ART].
abstract: The aim of the study was to analyse publications on practical aspects of the management of microscopic colitis (MC) as a common manifestation of diarrheic syndrome in aged subjects. Many etiopathogenetic issues remain debatable. Major difficulties are encountered in differential diagnostics. Of special importance is the relationship between MC, autoimmune and inflammatory intestinal diseases. Approaches to MC therapy vary from the use of antidiarrheal agents to comprehensive immunosuppressive treatment.
