[Haemorrhagic colitis after colonoscopy].
We report the case of a 43-year-old woman with an acute haemorrhagic colitis after colonoscopy with ambulatory anaesthesia. The diagnosis is likely to have been glutaraldehyde induced colitis (used for disinfection of the endoscope). The patient recovered spontaneously completely.
