Symptoms
Pseudomembranous colitis is characterized by
- Diarrhea: Usually, the diarrhea is non-bloody, although blood may be present if the affected individual is taking blood thinners or has an underlying lower bowel condition such as hemorrhoids.
- Abdominal pain: Abdominal pain is almost always present and may be severe. So-called "peritoneal" signs (e.g. rebound tenderness) may be present.
- Fever: "Constitutional" signs such as fever, fatigue, and loss of appetite are prominent.
