title: [Antibiotic-associated segmental hemorrhagic colitis: a case report].
abstract: Pseudomembranous colitis is a well known complication of antibiotic therapy. Only recently few cases of another form of an antibiotic-associated colitis, the acute segmental haemorrhagic penicillin-associated colitis, have been described. We report another case and point out the importance of early colonoscopy to distinguish the disease from the pseudomembranous colitis.
