CDI
is a common complication in patients with underlying IBD
[27–29]
, and is always an important diagnostic consideration when
the
patient presents with a flare of IBD activity. In this context one
generally
does not see pseudomembranes during an endoscopic
examination
of the colon, and failure to make the diagnosis can
lead
to a delay in providing appropriate antibiotic treatment and
escalation
of immunosuppressive therapy that by itself may worsen
the disease. FMT appears to be comparably effective in clearing the
infection
in RCDI patients with and without underlying IBD [30].
