Abstract
|
|
|
|
The incidence, recurrence, and mortality of Clostridium difficile infection are increasing and the standard therapy is oral metronidazole or vancomycin. Since treatment failure with standard therapy is increasing, an alternative therapy is needed. Fecal microbiota transplantation is one effective method in patients with refractory or recurrent C. difficile infection, including pseudomembranous colitis. Here, we report two cases of refractory pseudomembranous colitis treated with fecal microbiota transplantation.
