Sažetak
Pseudomembranous colitis associated with Clostridium difficile is an entity characterized typically by severe diarrhea during or after treatment with antibiotics, with symptoms ranging from mild diarrhea to colitis with toxic megacolon. Diagnosis depends on the culture of C difficile or findings its toxin in the stool of symptomatic patients and characteristics findings on endoscopy, consisting of pseudomembranous nodules or plaques, superfitial erosions and erythematous lesion. Pseudomembranous colitis associated with C difficile rarely occurs as an acute abdomen. We present the case of 50-year old man who was admitted to hospital after ingestion of ethylene glycol in suicidal attempt and who had an acute abdomen due to C difficile colitis.
