Abstract
Viral and fungal colitides are rare in the immunocompetent host but are most clinically significant in populations with compromised immune function. They may be associated with high mortality, particularly when treatment is delayed. It is important to be aware of these diseases when treating patients with colitis to allow early diagnosis and treatment, which will improve outcome.Entities:
