Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Inflammation: These findings indicate inflammation but say nothing about the cause. Depending on symptoms and exposures, this could be inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease); bacterial or amebic dystentery; certain STDs if exposed (syphilis, chlamydia, LGV); or others. Discuss with your doctor.
