  • Title: Pseudomembranous colitis in a preterm neonate.
    Author: Singer DB, Cashore WJ, Widness JA, Campognone P, Hillemeier C.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 1986; 5(2):318-20. PubMed ID: 3958861.
    Abstract:
    This preterm female infant abruptly developed diarrhea and bowel distention at 25 days of age and died within 60 h with fulminating pseudomembranous colitis and proctitis. Toxin-producing C. difficile was recovered from the stool. The pseudomembranous colitis developed 12 days after the last dose of ampicillin was given to the baby. Necrotizing enterocolitis, a condition pathologically distinct from pseudomembranous colitis, was also present.
