  • Title: Diarrhoea and colitis associated with antibiotic treatment.
    Author: Gibson GE, Rowland R, Hecker R.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Med; 1975 Aug; 5(4):340-7. PubMed ID: 1058673.
    Abstract:
    Sixteen cases of colitis developing within twenty-one days of antibiotic therapy are reported. There was a wide range of disease severity. Lincomycin and Clindamycin were implicated in twelve. The colitis was of two pathological patterns pseudomembranous colitis and "non-specific" colitis. There is a relative sparing of the rectum in some cases making the diagnosis more difficult on sigmoidoscopy.
