Currently, there are more and more cases of the development of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in patients, which means at least three unformed stools for two or more consecutive days while taking antibiotics. The paper presents the clinical features, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of antibiotic-associated infection and describes a clinical case of the development of enterocolitis caused by Cl. difficile toxins A and B in an immunosuppressed patient using antibiotics.
Keywords: pseudomembranous colitis, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Clostridium difficile, antibacterial therapy
