Acute colitis associated with etodolac.
We describe two patients in whom acute colitis developed during etodolac treatment. Symptoms resolved when etodolac was stopped. In one, symptoms of colitis recurred with reexposure to the drug. The clinical and pathologic findings were consistent with de novo colitis from etodolac.
