Pseudomembranous Colitis

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1980
A case of pseudomembranous colitis is reported in which computed tomography (CT) played an important role in the diagnosis and differentiation from other causes of fever and abdominal pain. It is important to look for CT evidence of primary bowel disease when scans are performed for possible abdominal abscess, since these two conditions may present ...

Pseudomembranous Colitis

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1993
Pseudomembranous colitis is an inflammatory disease of the colon and rectum characterized by the development of elevated mucosal plaques. It usually is associated with antibiotic therapy and is caused by elaboration of toxin from the anaerobic bacterium, Clostridium difficile. The hallmark of treatment is orally administered vancomycin or metronidazole.

Rifampin and Pseudomembranous Colitis

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1983
Isolates of toxigenic Clostridium difficile, the most frequent cause of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis, are almost always highly susceptible to rifampin. However, resistant isolates exist and have been associated with colitis in both hamsters and humans given rifampin.

IS PSEUDOMEMBRANOUS COLITIS INFECTIOUS?

The Lancet, 1981
A cluster of eight patients in two adjacent hospital wards acquired acute diarrhoea within a period of 11 days.

Fulminant Pseudomembranous Colitis

Digestive Surgery, 2008
Pseudomembranous colitis is an increasingly frequent nosocomial infection; it commonly occurs after the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, that allow overgrowth of Clostridium difficile. Although this microorganism has been associated with relapse of ulcerative colitis, pseudomembranous colitis complicating inflammatory bowel disease is unusual.
