Abstract

Colitis in neutropenic patients presents with non-specific clinical findings including abdominal pain, fever, diarrhea and abnormal liver function tests. Four diagnoses are relatively more frequent: neutropenic enterocolitis, pseudomembranous colitis, intestinal GVHD and CMV colitis. Knowledge of their respective imaging features combined with epidemiological data frequently leads to the correct diagnosis. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the imaging features of colitis in neutropenic patients.
