Summary: Diarrhoea and colitis associated with antibiotic treatment.G. E. Gibson, R. Rowland and R. Hecker, Aust. N.Z. J. Med., 1975, 5, pp. 340–347. Sixteen cases of colitis developing within twenty‐one days of antibiotic therapy are reported. There was a wide range of disease seventy. Lincomycin and Clindamycin were implicated in twelve. The colitis was of two pathological patterns, pseudomembranous colitis and “non‐specific” colitis. There is a relative sparing of the rectum in some cases making the diagnosis more difficult on sigmoidoscopy.
