A short history of blood in stool can be symptoms of infectious cause- an enteritis/dysentery. In that case RBC in stool is a common findings. If the blood in stool continues or recurs should be evaluated by colonoscopy and Fecal Calprotectin to rule out non infectious causes like IBD. Most probably that was an episode of enteritis/Colitis of infectious cause.
