A member asked:
What could erythema be when found during a colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nonspecific: Erythema is very nonspecific. If there is erythema in isolation, it may not mean anything. But erythema along with ulcer, or friability (fragile tissue), or other findings can be associated with colitis.
