Background: Recent biomedical research has shown the unusual, multisystem effects of coronavirus disease 2019 in humans. One specific sequela of a primary severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection is the reactivation of latent viruses in various tissues, such as Epstein-Barr virus. Epstein-Barr virus has been identified in many inflammatory gastrointestinal lesions, such as microscopic gastritides and colitides.

Collagenous gastroenteritidesare rare disorders of unknown etiology diagnosed histologically by marked subepithelial deposition of collagen bands thicker than 10µm in the lamina propria with a mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate. Collagenous gastritis (CG) is divided into two phenotypes - pediatric-onset and adult-onset. Up until recently, pediatric-onset CG was thought to be confined to the stomach presenting with abdominal pain and anemia with limited involvement of the colon.

Article Synopsis
- Microscopic colitis (MC) is a significant but often overlooked cause of chronic diarrhea, especially when colonoscopy results appear normal, prompting the need for more thorough diagnostic methods.
- A study involving 116 patients showed that 32.8% were diagnosed with MC, with lymphocytic colitis being more prevalent, and elevated inflammatory markers like fecal calprotectin, ESR, and CRP were linked to MC.
- Symptoms such as nocturnal diarrhea and abdominal pain were strongly associated with MC, and specific cutoff values for inflammatory markers demonstrated high accuracy for diagnosis, indicating the necessity for further exploration and validation in future research.
