  • Title: Colitis after Hibiclens enema.
    Author: Hardin RD, Tedesco FJ.
    Journal: J Clin Gastroenterol; 1986 Oct; 8(5):572-5. PubMed ID: 3782757.
    Abstract:
    Acute colitis occurred after a Hibiclens cleanser enema. Endoscopic and histologic features were not helpful in distinguishing this colitis from an infectious or idiopathic colitis, and a careful history proved invaluable. We review the complications of using soapsuds and various chemical-containing enemas; these complications range from mild colitis to death. Because soap and other chemicals are damaging to colonic mucosa, these enemas should be included as a cause of acute colitis.
