What is your approach to treatment of patients with fulminant C difficile infection who required ileostomy creation or colectomy?
Is there a role for oral vancomycin in these patients, or is oral vancomycin redundant if other routes of administration are being used (i.e intracolonic or per rectum)?
Answer from: at Community Practice
Great question. If the entire colon has been removed, I do not see a role for oral vancomycin.
