Antibiotic-associated haemorrhagic colitis, a rare cause of bloody diarrhea linked to penicillin antibiotics, typically resolves after drug cessation. This review highlights its occurrence and unknown pathogenesis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Antibiotic-associated haemorrhagic colitis is an uncommon gastrointestinal condition.
  • It is associated with the use of penicillin and related antibiotics.

Observation:

  • Symptoms include abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea within one week of antibiotic initiation.
  • The condition appears more prevalent in patients of Oriental ethnicity.
  • Two cases are presented, one treated for Helicobacter pylori infection.

Findings:

  • The pathogenesis of antibiotic-associated haemorrhagic colitis remains unknown.
  • Histological findings and pathogenesis are reviewed in the literature.

Implications:

  • Early recognition and discontinuation of the offending antibiotic are crucial for resolution.
