Diagnosis The diagnosis of CMV colitis is based on serology , CMV antigen testing and colonscopy with biopsy . Clinical suspicion should be arised in the setting of immunocompromised pateint but it is much rarer in immunocompetent pateint. Although it is known that CMV colitis is almost always caused by reactivation of latent CMV infection in immunocompromised pateints, new infection of CMV or reinfection of different strain of CMV can cause colitis in immunocompetent hosts. Because asymptomatic CMV viremia and viruria is common and about 1 3 of symptomatic CMV infection is caused by reinfection of different strain of CMV, the diagnosis of CMV colitis needs more direct causality. It is practically achieved by colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy tissue sampling and pathological eveidence of CMV infection under microscope. Positive CMV IgG doesn t neccessarily mean that it is reactivation of latent infection because of the possibility of reinfection of different strain.

Diversion colitis is an inflammation of the colon which can occur as a complication of ileostomy or colostomy , often occurring within the year following the surgery. It can also occur in a neovagina created by colovaginoplasty , sometimes several years after the original procedure.

The diagnosis cannot be safely reached without knowing the clinical story. ref Haboubi NY, Schofield. Reporting colonic biopsies in inflammatory conditions a new approach.
