  ABSTRACT: Clostridium difficile colitis leads to bowel injury, increasing the risk for microscopic colitis, whereas people with any inflammatory disease are prone to infections. A complete evaluation, including a colonoscopy, should be performed in undiagnosed cases. Finally, upon diagnosis of microscopic colitis, discontinuation of offending medicines should be promptly done. Use of antibiotics other than Vancomycin administered orally will only lead to partial or no response. Lastly, if the suspicion for the Clostridium difficile diarrhea is high, further testing should be done even if initial lab work is negative.
