See answer: The term antibiotic-associated diarrhea (aad) refers to a benign, self-limited diarrhea following the use of antimicrobials. Typically, no pathogens are identified and diarrhea caused by changes in composition and function of the intestinal flora. Most patients respond to supportive measures and discontinuation of antibiotics. Occasionally, can lead to a more serious colitis that needs specific rx.
