Toxic megacolon complicating pseudomembranous enterocolitis

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1995
Toxic megacolon is a rare complication of pseudomembranous enterocolitis. We reviewed our recent experience with this complication.The first five patients of the series were studied retrospectively, and six others were followed prospectively.Between June 1992 and May 1994, 11 patients (8 male, 3 female) developed toxic megacolon secondary to ...

A Reappearance of Antibiotic-Induced Pseudomembranous Enterocolitis

Radiology, 1974
Four proved cases of pseudomembranous enterocolitis are presented. In each case either lincomycin or clindamycin (a derivative of lincomycin) was given. Use of such broad spectrum antibiotics appears to be related to the increased incidence of pseudomembranous enterocolitis.

Pseudomembranous enterocolitis—A potentially lethal disease

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1990
The cases of nine children with pseudomembranous enterocolitis, five of whom died, are reported here. Six had prior antibiotic therapy, and in eight there were other diseases present that were considered to contribute to the development of this disease. Awareness of this condition, which requires aggressive medical and surgical management, is discussed.

Subtotal Colectomy for Refractory Pseudomembranous Enterocolitis

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1976
Pseudomembranous enterocolitis resulting from therapy with antibiotics such as clindamycin and lincomycin hydrochloride monohydrate does not always respond to drug and vigorous medical support. We describe two seriously ill patients who recovered after subtotal colectomy with ileostomy.

Pseudomembranous enterocolitis

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1981
Pseudomembranous enterocolitis (PMEC) was first documented in 1893. Since this initial description, confusion has reigned in the medical literature concerning its nature and differentiation from such entities as necrotizing enterocolitis and staphylococcal enterocolitis.

Toxic dilatation of the colon complicating pseudomembranous enterocolitis

The American Journal of Digestive Diseases, 1968
A case of toxic dilatation of the colon complicating antibiotic-induced pseudomembranous enterocolitis, believed to be the first to be reported, has been presented. This disease must be differentiated from toxic dilatation of the colon complicating ulcerative colitis, since treatment for the two conditions differs.

Pseudomembranous Enterocolitis

A.M.A. Archives of Surgery, 1956
During the past few years increasing clinical evidence has been gathered to seriously implicate Micrococcus pyogenes (Staphylococcus aureus) as the etiological agent responsible for the often fatal surgical complication known as pseudomembranous enterocolitis.

Pseudomembranous and neutropenic enterocolitis in pediatric oncology patients

Supportive Care in Cancer, 2003
Neutropenic enterocolitis in oncological patients represents a wide spectrum of clinicopathological pictures each with its own entity. Early diagnosis of enterocolitis can lead to improved supportive care and therefore better outcome. We present two cases--patient A, a child with pseudomembranous colitis caused by Clostridium difficile, and patient B ...

The Roentgen Findings in Severe Pseudomembranous Enterocolitis

Radiology, 1960
Pseudomembranous enterocolitis has been a major clinical problem, particularly so since the recognition of increasing numbers of bacteria which are resistant to broad-spectrum antibiotics (2–6, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17. 20, 21, 25). Surgical interest in the problem (7–10, 16, 19, 21, 22, 24, 25) has led to much recent study, but the condition was reported in ...
