Abstract
We observed a significant rise in CDAD in both IBD and non-IBD. The clinical outcome was favorable with only one IBD patient needing semi-urgent colectomy. Because C. difficile can mimic an IBD flare, it is essential that clinicians are vigilant to this complication. The use of immunosuppressive drugs in IBD does not influence the risk.
