Injudicious antibiotic use leading to fulminating Clostridium difficile infection: a case report.

Sreedhar Kolli1, Akhila Mallipedhi, Rhys Thomas, Male Kishore Reddy.   

Abstract

The case illustrates the myriad of fulminating complications due to Clostridium difficile infection in a previously healthy individual without any risk factors. Community acquired Clostridium difficile infection can occur even many weeks after the course of broad spectrum antibiotics. There is no definitive pattern or guidelines to predict who would develop the fulminating complications.
