One hundreds seventy-one homosexual men, 96 of whom had symptoms suggestive of proctitis and 75 of whom had no such symptoms, were consecutively enrolled in a study of the prevalence, clinical spectrum, and histopathology of Chlamydia trachomatis rectal infections. C. trachomatis was isolated from the rectums of 14 men. Three of the isolates, which had lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) immunotypes, were recovered from three men with symptoms and signs of severe proctitis, two of whom had…

Severe Proctitis Caused by Chlamydia trachomatis Serovars
TLDR
A 23-year-old man presented with a 3-day history of high fever, lower abdominal pain, and hematochezia, implying that non-LGV strains have the potential to present as an invasive disease.
Chlamydia trachomatis proctitis.
The polymicrobial origin of intestinal infections in homosexual men.
TLDR
The data demonstrate that intestinal symptoms in homosexual men are attributable to a complex spectrum of microorganisms, but that careful clinical classification can serve as a guide to the selection of microbiologic studies and to a rational initial choice of therapy.
Clinical features of Chlamydia trachomatis rectal infection by serovar among homosexually active men.
TLDR
Signs and symptoms of rectal infection correlate with the serovar of C. trachomatis serovars isolated from rectal infections, and those infected with FG group versus B complex isolates were more likely to present with mucopus.
Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis lymphogranuloma venereum serovar L1 in homosexual men with proctitis: molecular analysis of an unusual case cluster.
TLDR
It is concluded that an unrecognized point source outbreak of the rare chlamydial L1 serovar occurred among homosexual men in Seattle in 1982-1983, and that the clinical manifestations of L1 infection may be less severe than those of L2 infections.
Experimental proctitis due to rectal infection with Chlamydia trachomatis in nonhuman primates.
TLDR
Experimental primate infection with C. trachomatis appears to clinically and histopathologically mimic rectal infection in humans and provides a model for immunopathogenesis studies in chlamydial proctitis and granulomatous proCTitis.
Rectal Chlamydia trachomatis infection in women. Is it overlooked?
TLDR
It is concluded that rectal chlamydial infection in women may be common and further studies are needed to elucidate its importance.
Chlamydia trachomatis urethral infections in men. Prevalence, risk factors, and clinical manifestations.
TLDR
Asymptomatic urethral infections in men eventually contribute to chlamydial infections in women, and culture screening for their detection appears warranted in high-risk populations.
Chlamydia trachomatis in the pharynx and rectum of heterosexual patients at risk for genital infection.
TLDR
Pharyngeal isolation and rectal isolation did not correlate with a history of rectal symptoms or rectal sex but did correlate with concurrent genital infection, and infection at these sites may be important in the transmission or persistence of C. trachomatis infections.
Chlamydia trachomatis infections in the female rectums.
TLDR
Rectal infection was significantly associated with rectal bleeding and microscopic evidence of proctitis, but not with diarrhoea or macroscopicProctitis.

Campylobacter enteritis: clinical and epidemiologic features.
TLDR
Review of 35 cases of campylobacter enteritis identified a typical clinical syndrome with acute onset of diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and constitutional symptoms, and Epidemiologic investigation strongly suggested an external source for the infection in 22 of 35 patients.
Confirmatory serodiagnosis of lymphogranuloma venereum proctitis may yield false-positive results due to other chlamydial infections of the rectum.

TLDR
Serologic confirmation of LGV proctitis may be "false-positive" in the sense that it reflects other chlamydial infections.
LOW FREQUENCY OF CHLAMYDIAL ANTIBODIES IN PATIENTS WITH CROHN'S DISEASE AND ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Crohn's disease of the anal region.
TLDR
The object of this paper is to present the clinical features, pathology, and subsequent course of this last group of patients who presented with anal lesions which suggested Crohn's disease both clinically and histologically, who had at the time neither clinical nor radiological evidence of intestinal pathology.

REGIONAL ILEITIS: A PATHOLOGIC AND CLINICAL ENTITY
TLDR
A disease of the terminal ileum, affecting mainly young adults, characterized by a subacute or chronic necrotizing and cicatrizing inflammation, which frequently leads to stenosis of the lumen of the intestine, associated with the formation of multiple fistulas.
Antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis due to toxin-producing clostridia.
TLDR
Results suggest that toxin-producing clostridia are responsible for antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis.

TLDR
Interest in rectal biopsy for the diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel disease has steadily increased and the introduction of fiberscopic colonoscopy has now become a routine practice.
Rectal lymphogranuloma venereum in Jamaica
TLDR
The prognosis of proctectomy with preservation of sphincter function should be guarded and the abdomino-end-anal operation of Dimitriu and Gregoresco has given promising results.
