| Core Tip |
Clostridium difficile infection, a rare and serious condition, often lacks standardized treatment. A case involved obstructed colon and subsequent infection post-surgery, successfully treated with vancomycin and linezolid. However, non-adherence to medication led to patient fatality. Timely preoperative assessment and prolonged treatment are crucial for chronic bowel disease patients. More comprehensive clinical guidelines are needed. |
