Proper management of antibiotic-associated pseudo membranous colitis is not clear. This article is to investigate proper treatment of antibiotic-associated pseudo membranous colitis. Data of 67 patients (aged 18-69 years W|ti 1 males and 46 females) with antibiotic-associated pseudo membranous colitis were retrospectively analyzed including the demography, antibiotics to induce and for treatment of the pseudo membranous colitis and other supportive measures. All 67 patients had a positive cytotoxin test, which confirmed the pseudo membranous colitis Antibiotics which induced the pseudo membranous colitis included clindamycin, ofloxacin, piperacillin, cefatriaxone. penbntin and ceftazidime. Once the correct diagnosis was made, the culprit antibiotics were discontinued immediately' and narrow-spectrum antibiotics like metronidazole and vancomycin were administered in combination with correction o fluid and electrolyte abnormalities, use of vitamins C and B complex to repair the intestinal mucosa, and avoidance of antispasmodic and antidiarrheal agents. After appropriate treatment for 2-20 days, all patients recovered with no sequela Sixty-two patients were clinically cured while five (7.5%) had diarrhea recurrence within two months of the end of therapy. Retreatment with tapering and extended period of metronidazole and/or vancomycin led to complete recovery of the patients Multiple antibiotic agents are associated with pseudo membranous colitis, and correction of fluid and electrolyte abnormalities and use of vitamins to repair the intestinal mucosa should be performed to speed up the cure process.
