Pseudomembranous colitis.
A case of pseudomembranous colitis is reported in which computed tomography (CT) played an important role in the diagnosis and differentiation from other causes of fever and abdominal pain. It is important to look for CT evidence of primary bowel disease when scans are performed for possible abdominal abscess, since these two conditions may present similar clinical features.
