ABSTRACT

Clostridium difficile is a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. We report a patient with complicated Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) who developed rapidly progressive acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), for which CDI was the only identifiable source. CDI should be considered in the differential diagnosis for anyone with diarrhea who presents ARDS, especially in high-risk groups such as the elderly, hospitalized patients, or those who have had a history of CDI.


El Clostridium difficile es una de las causas más frecuentes de diarreas asociadas a antibióticos. Reportamos un paciente con infección por Clostridium difficile complicada (CDI) que desarrolló rápida y progresivamente un síndrome de distress respiratorio agudo (ARDS), del cual el CDI fue la fuente única identificable. El CDI debe considerarse en el diagnóstico diferencial de cualquier persona con diarrea que presenta ARDS, especialmente en los grupos de alto riesgo como los ancianos, pacientes hospitalizados o aquellos que han tenido historia precia de DCI.
