Clinical manifestations

1. Acute enteritis

In my country, the incidence rate is higher in summer and autumn, with no gender difference. The general incubation period is 12 to 36 hours. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are the main symptoms of acute enteritis.

2. Chronic enteritis

The clinical manifestations are long-term chronic or recurrent abdominal pain, diarrhea, indigestion, etc. In severe cases, there may be mucus or watery stools.

The severity of diarrhea varies. In mild cases, patients may have bowel movements 3 to 4 times a day, or diarrhea and constipation may occur alternately; in severe cases, patients may have bowel movements every 1 to 2 hours, and may even suffer from fecal incontinence. Some patients may have nocturnal diarrhea and/or postprandial diarrhea. When the rectum is severely affected, a feeling of tenesmus may occur. The feces are mostly paste-like, mixed with a large amount of mucus, and often contain pus and blood.

Some patients have fresh blood in their stools, and the lesions are limited to the rectum, which is called hemorrhagic proctitis. The blood or stool is discharged separately, or attached to the surface of normal or dry stool, which is often mistaken for hemorrhoidal bleeding. Patients with proctitis often have mucus and blood in their stools, and may even suffer from fecal incontinence. If the lesions extend above the rectum, blood is often mixed with the stool or bloody diarrhea occurs.

Physical examination may reveal mild tenderness around the umbilicus or lower abdomen, hyperactive bowel sounds, and rectal prolapse.
