Abstract

Clostridium difficile-associated disease seems to be increasing worldwide. A wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic to life-threatening disease, has been described. A case of pseudomembranous colitis with massive ascites as the main presenting manifestation is described in order to illustrate the changing clinical pattern of antibiotic-associated colitis.
