We report a case of ulcerative colitis (UC) and recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) where the patient was on immunomodulatory therapy and had successful CDI eradication after fecal transplantation. This is the first case report in the literature documenting successful C. difficile eradication in an immunosuppressed patient. We feel that fecal transplantation should be studied as a treatment option in these patients.
我们报告了一例溃疡性结肠炎(UC)合并复发性艰难梭菌感染(CDI)的病例,该患者正在接受免疫调节治疗,在粪便移植后艰难梭菌感染得以成功根除。这是文献中首例记录免疫抑制患者艰难梭菌感染成功根除的病例报告。我们认为粪便移植应作为这些患者的一种治疗选择进行研究。
