Many people do not know what are the causes of Toxic Megacolon. Therefore I would like to mention it here:
1.The classic etiologies of toxic megacolon include the following inflammatory causes:
- Ulcerative colitis
- Crohn colitis
- Pseudomembranous colitis
2. The many causes of infectious colitis, including the following, may lead to toxic megacolon:
- Salmonella species
- Shigella species
- Campylobacter species
- Yersinia species
- Clostridium difficile
- Entamoeba histolytica
- Cytomegalovirus
3. Toxic megacolon also may be caused by the following:
- Radiation colitis
- Ischemic colitis
- Nonspecific colitis secondary to chemotherapy
The deceased's father said: her daughter's health has been no problem. This shows what?
May be it was due to bacteria or virus infections, but experts in identification is the most reliable.
Lastly,I hope her family will no longer sad.
