Sigmoidoscopy
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea with C. diff infection with colitis but without pseudomembrane development may present as:
- Sigmoidoscopy shows a nonspecific diffuse or patchy erthrematous colitis without pseudomembranes.
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea with C. diff infection with colitis and pseudomembrane development presents with prominent signs and symptoms as described above and sometimes:
- Sigmoidoscopy shows pseudomembranes; raised yellow or off-white plaques ranging up to 1 cm in diameter scattered over the colorectal mucosa. Occasionally pseudomembranes will be located in the proximal colon.
