摘要：

Human intestinal spirochetosis (HIS) is a rare occurrence. We present an interesting case study on an asymptomatic over -60 -year -old male who was incidentally discovered to have HIS following a colonoscopy that was conducted for his positive fecal occult blood test (FOBT). Histopathology of the colonic biopsy proved the presence of human intestinal spirochetosis; however, as he was asymptomatic, treatment was not initiated in his case. We discuss here the prevalence, presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatment of colonic HIS.
