Abstract:
Pseudomembranous colitis is the classical and most dramatic manifestation of Clostridium difficile infection. Surgery is required for patients with perforation and for those who fail to respond to medical treatment. This is a report of a patient with severe pseudomembranous inflammation confined to the left colon, which was successfully treated by surgical resection.
