Pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) is an inflammatory disorder usually limited to the large intestine and is the consequence of antibiotic associated Clostridium difficile overgrowth with production of its toxin. It has a characteristic gross and microscopic appearance. PMC-like changes, usually associated with peri-operative hypotension and with more extensive gastrointestinal tract involvement, have also been described. In neither clinical setting has pseudomembranous appendicitis been recorded. A case of pseudomembranous appendicitis in a 76 year old woman is described.
伪膜性结肠炎（PMC）是一种通常局限于大肠的炎症性疾病，是抗生素相关的艰难梭菌过度生长并产生毒素的结果。它具有特征性的大体和显微镜下表现。也有文献描述了类似PMC的改变，通常与围手术期低血压以及更广泛的胃肠道受累有关。在这两种临床情况下均未记录到伪膜性阑尾炎。本文描述了一例76岁女性的伪膜性阑尾炎病例。
