摘要
A 71-year-old man who had undergone an ileorectal anastomosis some years earlier, developed fulminant fatal Clostridium difficile pseudomembranous enteritis and proctitis after a prostatectomy. This case and three reports of C. difficile involvement of the small bowel in adults emphasize that the small intestine can be affected. No case like ours, of enteritis after colectomy from C. difficile, has hitherto been reported.
