Colon Diverticulosis

Diverticular disease includes two conditions: diverticulosis and diverticulitis. Both involve saclike protrusions of the mucosal and submucosal walls, typically in the colon. Diverticulosis is the presence of multiple diverticula, which may or may not be symptomatic. Symptomatic diverticulosis presents with indistinct symptoms and, less commonly, with severe symptoms, such as slow bleeding (causing anemia) or rapid bleeding (causing frank hematochezia and even hemodynamic instability). Diverticulitis is acute or chronic inflammation of the diverticula, possibly leading to abscesses and even perforation. Classic diverticulitis includes fever, leukocytosis, and left-sided abdominal pain, with localized tenderness and guarding. Incidence of disease increases with age. CT is the gold standard for diagnosis, which rules out other abdominal pathology and detects any diverticular complications. An outpatient course of oral antibiotics is prescribed for uncomplicated diverticulitis in an immunocompetent patient. Indications for surgery are generalized peritonitis or large abscesses that cannot be drained.

Colon Diverticulosis

A case of intestinal spirochetosis in a 62-year-old white male is reported. The condition was characterized by chronic flatulence and episodes of intestinal hemorrhage, in addition to the evidence of hypotonic diverticular disease, with a large number of slender organisms in the colon epithelium and cryptae. Spirochetes were demonstrated by Whartin-Starry stain. The serologic tests for syphilis and HIV were positive. Spirochetosis was treated with penicillin G, and the patient remains free of intestinal complaints 20 months later.
