A member asked:
Can u still get toxic mega colon if ur on treatment for c diff? or will treatment prevent that
A doctor has provided 1 answer
C. difficile: The answer depends upon your response to medications. There are strains of cl. Difficile that are resistant to medications used to treat this condition, and toxic megacolon may occur secondary to the severity of infection encountered prior to institution of therapy. You need to keep in close touch with your treating doctor.
