Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crypt abscesses, serpiginous ulcerations, and inflammatory polyps of the large intestine are typical features of ulcerative colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel disease that affects only the large intestine (colon). Diverticulosis coli is the presence of small pouches in the colon wall, but it does not typically present with the mentioned features. Crohn's disease is another type of inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the digestive tract, not just the large intestine. Pseudomembranous colitis is a severe inflammation of the colon caused by the bacteria Clostridioides difficile. Cholera is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae that primarily affects the small intestine.
