title: Pseudomembranous colitis in association with Henoch Schonlein purpura.
abstract: We describe the occurrence of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis in two cases of Henoch Schonlein purpura. We discuss the potential diagnostic difficulties and suggest that Henoch Schonlein purpura may predispose to the development of antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis.
