Abstract

Nine patients with pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) are described. Eight patients received prior therapy with antibiotics. Pyrexia and polymorph leukocytosis were common features. Six relapses occurred in four of the six patients who were treated with vancomycin. Two patients who did not receive vancomycin died.
