Clostridium difficile in Relapse of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

42 INTRODUCTION Despite the availability of a growing number of therapeutic options for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), patients in remission remain at constant risk of disease relapse. Clinically, it can be difficult to distinguish between diarrheal relapses of IBD and the presence of enteric infection. Several microorganisms can be seen in association with relapse, includin...

Management of Clostridium difficile Infection in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Expert Review from the Clinical Practice Updates Committee of the AGA Institute.

Fecal microbiota transplantation in recurrent Clostridium difficile infection in a patient with concomitant inflammatory bowel disease.

The use of fecal microbiota transplantation in recurrent Clostridium difficile infection and coexistent inflammatory bowel disease remains unclear. A 61-year-old man with ulcerative pancolitis was diagnosed with a third recurrence of Clostridium difficile infection, previously treated with metronidazole, vancomycin and fidaxomicin. Fecal microbiota transplantation of an unrelated healthy donor ...

Clostridium difficile Infection in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are disproportionately susceptible to Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and the incidence is increasing. There has also been growing recognition of asymptomatic C. difficile colonization in pediatric IBD, which can sometimes be very difficult to distinguish from symptomatic C. difficile-associated disease in this population. In this study, we d...
