Abstract
Stools of 65 patients with exacerbation of symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease were examined for the presence of enteric pathogens and Clostridium difficile. Ten (16%) had C. difficile toxin. Symptoms in all patients cleared after therapy, with improvement correlating with elimination of toxin from the stool.Keywords
