Abstract

Pseudomembranous colitis (Clostridium difficile) induced by antibiotics is not commonly diagnosed in children. Recent developments have clarified the pathogenesis and suggested that agents such as cholestyramine are therapeutically useful. Two siblings with pseudomembranous colitis were carefully studied and may serve to alert pediatricians to an approach to this entity.
