SUMMARY Four patients are described who developed pseudomembranous colitis in association with clindamycin therapy.Rectal biopsies from two patients were studied with the electron microscope and compared with the ultrastructural appearance of the rectal mucosa from seven normal people. Ultrastructural evidence for a viral colitis was obtained. The significance of the clindamycin therapy to the viral colitis and the contribution of the viral colitis to the clinical state are discussed.

“…Emphasis has been placed on the condition occurring postoperatively (Pettet, Baggenstoss, Dearing, and Judd, 1954; van Prohaska, Mock, Baker, and Collins, 1961), and in association with antibiotic therapy (Cummins, 1961;Hale and Cosgriff, 1957;Pearce and Dineen, 1960). Many authors have claimed that it is always due to staphylococcal infection and is in fact a staphylococcal enterocolitis ( van Prohaska, 1959).…”

EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS It is not generally recognized that pseudo-membranous enterocolitis may attack the colon only and has to be considered as a differential diagnosis for ulcerative colitis. Twelve cases in which the colon only was attacked are described in this paper. They fall into two groups, one group associated with primary disease of the colon, particularly with obstruction, and the other with general disease such as pneumonia or uraemia or septicaemia. It is suggested that the condition is due to a toxic agent acting locally within the mucosa and is a separate entity from ischaemic colitis or staphylococcal enterocolitis.
