Self-Administered Home Series Fecal "Minitransplants" for Recurrent Clostridium difficile Infection on a Rectal Remnant.

2015
A fecal microbiota transplant has proved to be an extremely effective method for patients with recurrent infections with Clostridiumdifficile. We present the case of a 65-year-old female patient with multiple Clostridiumdifficile infection (CDI) relapses on the rectal remnant, post- colectomyfor a CDI-related toxic megacolon. The patient also evidenced associated symptomatic Clostridiumdifficile vaginal infection. She was successfully treated with serial fecal "minitransplants" (self-administered at home) and metronidazoleovules.
