Article Synopsis
- A study examined the impact of proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) on the treatment outcomes for patients with Clostridium difficile colitis at a Veterans Affairs medical center.
- Among 140 patients, those on PPIs had a significantly higher recurrence rate of the disease compared to those not on PPIs.
- The findings suggest that using PPIs may increase the risk of C. difficile colitis returning after treatment.
