Abstract:
Pseudomembranous colitis is not a rare complication of antibiotic therapy. 2000 surgical procedures with implantation of grafts in the aorto-iliac region were performed from 1974 through 1988; during this period 11 cases of CMP were observed. The Authors report their experience in regard to the various antibiotics administered.
