Ileitis is an inflammation of the ileum, a portion of the small intestine. Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection may mimic Crohn's disease Ileitis.{{Cite journal |last1=Gurzu |first1=Simona |last2=Molnar |first2=Calin |last3=Contac |first3=Anca Otilia |last4=Fetyko |first4=Annamaria |last5=Jung |first5=Ioan |date=2016-09-16 |title=Tuberculosis terminal ileitis: A forgotten entity mimicking Crohn's disease |journal=World Journal of Clinical Cases |volume=4 |issue=9 |pages=273–280 |doi=10.12998/wjcc.v4.i9.273 |doi-access=free |issn=2307-8960 |pmc=5018625 |pmid=27672643}} Ileitis may be linked to a broad range of illnesses, such as sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, ischemia, neoplasms, spondyloarthropathies, vasculitides, drug-related conditions, and eosinophilic enteritis.{{cite journal | last1=DiLauro | first1=Steven | last2=Crum-Cianflone | first2=Nancy F. | title=Ileitis: When It is Not Crohn's Disease | journal=Current Gastroenterology Reports | publisher=Springer Science and Business Media LLC | volume=12 | issue=4 | date=June 8, 2010 | issn=1522-8037 | doi=10.1007/s11894-010-0112-5 | pages=249–258 | doi-access=free| pmid=20532706 | pmc=2914216 }}`
Signs and symptoms
When it comes to ileitis, the majority of cases are caused by an acute, self-limited form of lower right quadrant pain and/or diarrhea. However, other conditions, such as M. tuberculosis or vasculitis, can cause chronic, debilitating symptoms that are complicated by hemorrhage, obstructive symptoms, and/or extraintestinal manifestations. Unless symptoms indicate that additional testing is necessary, ileitis linked to spondyloarthropathy or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is usually subclinical and goes unnoticed.
