AB  - A  number  of  organisms  can  cause  inflammation  of  the  anal  and  rectal  mucosa.  Proctitis  is  characterized  by  anorectal  discomfort,  tenesmus,  constipation,  and  mucus  or  bloody  discharge.  Most  cases  of  proctitis  are  sexually  transmitted,  especially  by  anal-receptive  intercourse.  Infectious  proctitis  must  be  distinguished  from  noninfectious  causes  of  anorectal  symptoms,  including  anal  fissures  or  fistulae,  perirectal  abscesses,  anorectal  carcinomas,  and  inflammatory  bowel  disease  (ulcerative  colitis  or  Crohn  disease).
