Ciprofloxacin as a cause of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea in an HIV antibody-positive patient
Abstract
Ciprofloxacin is an uncommon cause of pseudomembranous colitis. A case is described in which diarrhoea was associated with the presence of clostridial toxin in an HIV-infected patient and the possible implications are discussed.
