Abstract
Pseudomembranous enterocolitis (PMC) has become a widely recognized syndrome of nausea, abdominal distention, and severe (frequently bloodly) diarrhea (1). While this syndrome was first associated with the administration of clindamycin, almost all antimicrobial drugs can serve as predisposing agents (2). We wish to report a patient with typical PMC induced by the administration of cytarabine.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
