Three case reports of glutaraldehyde-induced chemical colitis.

Currently, chemical colitis in clinical practice is mainly caused by iatrogenic factors. The disinfectant glutaraldehyde is one of the common drugs that can cause chemical colitis, but there are few reports about it. From August 2019 to August 2022, 1457 cases of colonoscopy were performed in the endoscopy room of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Songyang County People's Hospital, and 3 cases of chemical colitis caused by glutaraldehyde residue are discussed in this report.
