Recurrent Clostridium Difficile Infection

A fecal microbiota transplant has proved to be an extremely effective method for patients with recurrent infections with Clostridium difficile. We present the case of a 65-year-old female patient with multiple Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) relapses on the rectal remnant, post-colectomy for a CDI-related toxic megacolon. The patient also evidenced associated symptomatic Clostridium difficile vaginal infection. She was successfully treated with serial fecal “minitransplants” (self-administered at home) and metronidazole ovules.Abbreviations: GI: gastrointestinal; MRI: magnetic resonance imaging; CDI: Clostridium difficile infection; FMT: fecal microbiota transplant.
