Abstract
This article covers management of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea in a patient with inflammatory bowel disease. It highlights the importance of recognizing severity of the illness and treating both conditions actively. It emphasizes that patients with chronic bowel conditions are more prone to infections, which need early recognition. We advise that every case should be managed individually, with close liaison between the teams.
