Spontaneous pseudomembranous colitis not associated with Clostridium difficile.

R J Dickinson, A Rampling, D G Wight

    |May 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Two patients developed pseudomembranous colitis despite no antibiotic use or detectable Clostridium difficile. This suggests alternative causes for this condition, prompting further investigation into non-CDI etiologies.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Pseudomembranous colitis is typically associated with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).
    • Antibiotic use is a primary risk factor for CDI.
    • The etiology of pseudomembranous colitis in the absence of CDI is not well understood.
