Q

An 85-year-old man is hospitalized for community- acquired pneumonia. He is treated with penicillin, and over the next week he feels that he is slowly recovering. On hospital day 10, he develops a low- grade fever, watery diarrhea, and lower abdominal
pain.
What is the most likely diagnosis?

A

Antibiotic associated colitis

48
Q

Infected pressure sores were observed on the buttock of an elderly, bedridden patient recently treated for a malignancy of the rectum.
