When I examined him today, he had no fever but his abdomen was generally tender but his liver and spleen were not enlarged. His white cell count was raised (11.1) and also his ESR and CPR. His red cell count was low (4.0) and he had microscopic blood in his stool.

Mr. Newton is complaining that he has had chronic mild diarrhea and intermittent abdominal pain for four months. His appetite is down and so he has lost weight (8kg in the last four months). He also has bowel cramps and gas. He has tried over-the-counter medication but his symptoms continue. They are even affecting his leisure activities and he no longer plays sports like before.
