| Core Tip |
A 65-year-old male suffering from incomplete tetraplegia presented with severe recurrent Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection subsequent to antibiotic treatment of pneumonia. After several antimicrobial therapies with subsequent relapses, the patient underwent colonoscopic fecal microbiota transplantation from his healthy son. Four days later, the patient showed a systemic inflammation response syndrome. Without detecting an infectious cause, the patient received antimicrobial treatment, including tigecycline, metronidazole, vancomycin via polyethylene glycol and an additional enema, for a period of seven days, leading to prompt recovery and no reported C. difficile infection relapse during a 12 wk follow up. |
