Infliximab Rescue in Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis Complicated by Clostridium Difficile Infection: A Case Series.

Relapses in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) complicated by  infection (CDI) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. CDI can exacerbate the course of IBD and may result in prolonged hospitalizations, admissions to intensive care, surgical interventions, or even death. Early detection and aggressive treatment with systemic corticosteroids or biologics such as infliximab are often needed in severe presentations.
