A member asked:
Do you get macrophages and crypt changes on colon biopsies from a stomach virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Both crypt architectural distortion and macrophages are indicative of a chronic inflammatory pattern of colonic injury. This at term is more common in conditions with chronic ongoing or intermittent damage. Things in the differential diagnosis include inflammatory bowel disease (crohn's or uc), diverticular associated colitis, or chronic ischemia.
