As these features can also be seen in smoldering Crohn's disease and lymphocytic colitis, it is important to know the patient's symptoms and, ideally, culture results as this differential diagnosis may be difficult to resolve on histological grounds alone. Selected specific food-and ⁄ or water-borne gastrointestinal infective disorders Escherichia coli, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Yersinia, Shigella and enteric viruses represent the most common food-borne pathogens worldwide. In addition, many of the food-and water-borne gastrointestinal infective diseases discussed below mimic other entities that are commonly encountered in surgical pathology practice, such as ischaemic colitis or idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease. ./cache/cord-315794-se0sq3c3.txt ./txt/cord-315794-se0sq3c3.txt
