In medicine, pseudomembranous enterocolitis is an "acute inflammation of the intestinal mucosa that is characterized by the presence of pseudomembranes or plaques in the small intestine (pseudomembranous enteritis) and the large intestine (pseudomembranous colitis). It is commonly associated with antibiotic therapy and clostridium difficile colonization."[1]

Treatment

Antibiotics

Various antibiotics have been studied.[2][3]

Administration of bacteria

Priobiotic administration may[4] or may not [5]help according to a meta-analyses and a more recent randomized controlled trial.[6]

Rectal infusion of feces helped in a case report.[7]
