title: [Hemorrhagic colitis as a sequela of a soap enema--case report].
abstract: The case of a 45 year old man is reported who developed an acute hemorrhagic colitis after the administration of a soapsud enema. Clinical, laboratory, radiologic, endoscopic and histologic findings are presented and compared with reports from the literature. Differential diagnosis of soap colitis has to include ischemic and drug-induced colitis. Because of the possible complication soapsud enemas should not be used any longer in medical practice.
