Pseudomembraneous colitis associated with antibiotics.
Radiographic manifestations of the colon on barium enema examination in two cases of antibiotic-induced pseudomembraneous colitis are presented. The radiographic findings are ulcerations, shaggy edematous mucosa and excessive mucus secretion. Although these roentgenorgraphic findings could not be differentiated from other inflammatory bowel disease, the antibiotic-induced enterocolitis must be included in the differential diagnosis whenever there is a clinical history of recent antibiotic therapy.
