Drug-induced[16,17]
Mycophenolic acid
Isotretinoin
Antibiotics
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs
Oral contraceptives
Etanercept, ipilimumab, and rituximab
Genetic mutations[18,19]
Homozygous variant/mutation in the G6Pase G6PC3 gene
Congenital chloride diarrhoea (SLC26A3 gene mutation)
Primary immunodeficiencies[20,21]
Antibody deficiency (common variable immunodeficiency, severe combined immunodeficiency, agammaglobulinemia, etc.)
Phagocytes defect (G6PC3 deficiency)
Complement deficiency
Immune dysregulation
Immune deficiency + syndromic features

Table 2 Literature review on surgical management of other inflammatory bowel disease-like colitis
Author, yrnTreatmentResultsDiscussion
Bolton et al[18], 20201Allogeneic HSCTHSCT resolves G6PC3-associated immunodeficiency and Crohn’s disease phenotype
Wicker et al[10], 20209G-CSF and cotrimoxazole; polymeric solution enriched in anti-inflammatory cytokineModulen IBD®, in addition to G-CSF and anti-bioprophylaxis, improves digestive symptoms Dietetic treatment improved metabolic balance and clinical symptoms
Norsa et al[19], 201912 (2 patients with IBD-like colitis)ASA; immuno-suppressant and biologics; ileostomy/colectomyTreatment included a wide range of conservative treatment and ileostomy with variable success
Xiao[9], 20192PEN, mesalazine, and recombinant human G-CSFG-CSF increased ANC and improved clinical symptomsG-CSF lowered the risk of developing IBD-colitis
Akkelle et al[20], 2018425 (195 with GI symptoms)Conventional immunosuppressive treatment, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, hemicolectomyTwelve patients (aged 9-16) had immunodeficiency associated IBD-like colitis. Surgery was indicated if immune-therapy failed
de Andrade et al[17], 201416MPA switch, reduction, or discontinuation IIBD-like colitis found in 25% of patients on MPA who underwent colonoscopy Symptoms resolved after MPA switch or adjustment without need for surgery
Dubeau, et al[16], 2013Drugs including isotretinoin, antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may predispose IBD or IBD-like colitisPathogenic mechanisms may include altered immune response or microbiota
Kamdar et al[21], 20111Steroids and enteral feedingPrimarily conservative treatment usually sufficient without need for surgery
