| Description | Clostridium difficile colitis needs to be recognised as a serious complication, especially in hospitalised patients. Its increased frequency and severity should not be underestimated. Although we can identify potential risk factors, we cannot exclude some asoof them completely (e.g. antibiotic and PPI treatment). On the other hand, a rational approach to antibiotic treatment in particular can be helpful in reducing the frequency and severity of clostridium difficile colitis. |
