Core Tip	Herein are described the cases of two elderly women who developed pseudomembranous colitis after one-week triple therapy consisting of pantoprazole (20 mg bid), clarithromycin (500 mg bid), and amoxicillin (1 g bid) to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. After a 10-d treatment with oral vancomycin (125 mg every 6 h) both patients had complete resolution of symptoms and negative stool test for Clostridium difficile toxins. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion of pseudomembranous colitis as a rare, but severe complication of H. pylori therapy.
