Sigmoiditis Hematogenous

Hematogenous sigmoiditis (S. hematogenus) is an acute inflammation in the ileo-cecal and large intestine that occurs due to hematogenous infection from a primary purulent focus.

**Etiology and pathogenesis** There is no exact information about the causes of the disease. It is assumed that there is a special susceptibility associated with the innate weak resistance of the colon mucosa and a weakening of its immunity. Infection with sigmoiditis may be associated with violation of asepsis rules.

In the origin of the disease, an imbalance between normal microflora (bifidobacteria in the cecum and ileum, lactobacilli in the appendix, bacilli in the rectum) and causative agents of the inflammatory process (Proteus of various types, of which the most common are Proteus miramycin, Proteus beet) is also important
