Can e coli look like crohn's on a colonoscopy.

Crohn's on endo: No crohn's looks like crohn's on biopsy the overall photo does not mean much - the biopsies are critical and provide the answer.

E. coli: Very unlikely, but even if there was a resemblance due to the colitis caused by some strains of e. Coli, the biopsy would differ markedly.
