[ 7 ] In 1980, Read and colleagues described microscopic colitis, which is clinically indistinguishable from collagenous colitis but is differentiated from it by specific biopsy features. (medscape.com)
[ 8 ] Later, Lazenby et al proposed the term "lymphocytic colitis" to replace the term "microscopic colitis" and to distinguish it from infectious colitis and inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease). (medscape.com)

Diarrhea4
Care should be taken to exclude other causes of chronic diarrhea, both infectious and noninfectious (e.g., lymphocytic colitis, collagenous colitis, tumors, drug reactions). (cdc.gov)
Both lymphocytic and collagenous colitis inflame the large intestine, typically causing watery diarrhea. (deaconess.com)
Initial symptoms in children and young adults often include anemia and abdominal pain, whereas older adults often have chronic watery diarrhea associated with collagenous colitis , celiac disease or both. (rarediseases.org)
The symptoms of collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis are similar - chronic watery, nonbloody diarrhea. (midwestgihealth.com)
Celiac1
Collagenous colitis as the presenting feature of biopsy-defined celiac disease. (medscape.com)
Autoimmune1
Some researchers have suggested that collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis result from an autoimmune response, which means that the body's immune system destroys cells for no known reason. (midwestgihealth.com)
Tissue5
The diagnosis of collagenous colitis or lymphocytic colitis is made after tissue samples taken during colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy are examined under a microscope. (midwestgihealth.com)
In lymphocytic colitis, tissue samples show inflammation with white blood cells known as lymphocytes between the cells that line the colon, and in contrast to collagenous colitis, there is no abnormality of the collagen. (midwestgihealth.com)
Collagenous Colitis occurs when a thick layer of protein develops in the colon tissue. (rockymountaingastro.com)
Lymphocytic Colitis occurs when white blood cells increase in the colon tissue. (rockymountaingastro.com)
One is collagenous colitis which is marked by thick protein layer on the tissue of the colon and the second is lymphocytic colitis which is marked by swelling or inflammation of colon tissue due to accumulation of white blood cells. (healthmd.net)
Subtypes1
Results: MC was diagnosed as three distinct histopathologic subtypes: lymphocytic colitis (LC) in 51 %, collagenous colitis (CC) in 43 %, and incomplete colitis (IC) in 6 % of patients. (elsevierpure.com)
Incidence1
The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of lymphocytic (LC) and collagenous colitis (CC) in the county Skåne (Scania), southern Sweden, during the period 2010-20 with focus both on the temporal and spatial variations. (lu.se)
Mucosal1
Cytokine profiles of mucosal biopse specimens taken at flexible sigmoidoscopy from 18 patients (8 with lymphocytic colitis and 10 with collagenous colitis) were analysed using real-time reverse transcriptase-PCR, in comparison with those from 13 aged-matched controls with diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome.

Large intestine2
Collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis are two types of bowel inflammation that affect the colon (large intestine). (midwestgihealth.com)

Symptoms4
Although the mechanism for olmesartan-associated sprue-like enteropathy is uncertain, the long latency before onset of symptoms, findings of lymphocytic or collagenous colitis, and high association with HLA-DQ2/8 suggest a localized delayed hypersensitivity or cell-mediated immune response to the pro-drug olmesartan medoxomil," FDA officials stated in their communication. (drugtopics.com)
Treatment for collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis varies depending on the symptoms and severity of the cases. (midwestgihealth.com)

Collagenous colitis is characterized by a larger-than-normal band of protein called collagen inside the lining of the colon. (midwestgihealth.com)
For very extreme cases of collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis, bypass of the colon or surgery to remove all or part of the colon has been done in a few patients. (midwestgihealth.com)

Risk1
Antidepressant agents such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) as a group increase the risk of collagenous colitis, but in this class of medications, sertraline alone significantly raises the risk of lymphocytic colitis (LC). (medscape.com)
People3
Over-the-counter antidiarrheal drugs may be effective for some people with lymphocytic colitis. (wikipedia.org)
People with collagenous colitis are most often diagnosed in their 50s, although some cases have been reported in adults younger than 45 years and in children aged 5 to 12. (midwestgihealth.com)
