Abstract

This is a case of 65 year old woman who had taken Clindamycin on the occasion of odontogenic infection a week before the hospitalization. After her admission to the hospital she develops Clostridium difficile infection which despite the adequate therapy turns in pseudomembranous colitis and toxic megacolon, and subsequently venous thrombosis with necrosis of the small intestines with fibrinous-suppurative peritonitis. The case demonstrates a serious Clostridium difficile infection which leads to unfavourable result despite the adequate treatment.

Key Words   
Clostridium difficile infection, pseudomembranous colitis. mesenteric vein
