We have recently experienced 20 cases of acute colitis associated with characteristic transient rectal bleeding. These cases were divided into three groups: 5 cases with rectal bleeding after flu-like syndrome, 7 cases with rectal bleeding after antibiotics administration, and 8 cases with sudden onset of rectal bleeding. The laboratory data revealed some common findings in these cases that stool cultures were negative and serum antibody titers for various viruses were not elevated. Moreover, the serum IgA levels were increased in most of the cases. Although it is conceivable that these cases could be caused by viral infection, induced by antibiotics, considered as an early stage of ulcerative colitis or other immunological disorders, the definite cause of these cases is not clear. Therefore, at present it would be reasonable to deal with them "Transient hemorrhagic colitis" clinically.
