Affecting the gastrointestinal tract in pediatric and adult populations, the condition involves continuous mucosal ulceration, erythema, and friability limited to the distal large intestine without skip lesions Defining pathophysiologic and clinical features arise from superficial epithelial damage and mucosal immune activation, commonly presenting with rectal bleeding, passage of mucus, tenesmus, fecal urgency, and crampy lower left quadrant abdominal pain
