Abstract
|
|
|
|
The rates and severity of Clostridium difficile infections, including pseudomembranous colitis, have increased markedly. How-ever, there are few effective treatments for refractory or recurrent C. difficile infections and the outcomes are poor. Fecal micro-biota transplantation is becoming increasingly accepted as an effective and safe intervention in patients with recurrent disease, likely due to the restoration of a disrupted microbiome. Cure rates of >90% are being consistently reported from multiple cen-ters. We cured a case of severe refractory C. difficile infection with fecal microbiota transplantation in a patient colonized by vancomycin-resistant enterococcus. (Intest Res 2015;13:80-84)
