A Case of Clostridium difficile Bacteremia in a Patient with Loop Ileostomy
Clostridium difficile, an anaerobic, spore-forming, gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium, is the most common nosocomial pathogen causing pseudomembranous colitis. C. difficile is not intrinsically invasive and rarely infects extraintestinal sites. The bacterium, therefore, is not commonly detected in blood cultures. Here, we report a case of C. difficile bacteremia in a patient who had underwent...
متن کاملClostridium difficile colitis associated with infant botulism: near-fatal case analogous to Hirschsprung's enterocolitis.
We present the first five reported cases of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) in children with infant botulism caused by Clostridium botulinum. We compare two fulminant cases of colitis in children with colonic stasis, the first caused by infant botulism and the second caused by Hirschsprung's disease. In both children, colitis was accompanied by hypovolemia, hypotension, profuse...

We also report the seventh case of Clostridium difficile reactive arthritis in a 6-year-old boy who was treated with amoxicil...
متن کاملRelatively high incidence of complications after loop ileostomy reversal.
INTRODUCTION A de-functioning loop ileostomy (LI) reduces the consequences of anastomotic leak following low anterior resection, but its construction as well as its closure can be associated with complications. The aim of the present study was to identify risk factors for postoperative complications and particularly to determine if operation performed by trainees carry a higher risk of complica...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of handsewn versus stapled reversal of loop ileostomy.
BACKGROUND The morbidity associated with closure of loop ileostomy (LI) may be attributed to the various surgical techniques employed for the closure. The purpose of this review was to review the hand-sutured (HS) versus the stapled anastomosis (SA) techniques, used in the reversal of LI. METHODS The MEDLINE, PubMed, CINHAL, Cochrane library and Web of Knowledge databases were searched for ra...
