| Abstract | Clostridium difficile infection is linked to antibiotic exposure, with elderly and immunocompromised hospitalised patients being particularly at risk. The symptoms range from mild diarrhoea to life-threatening fulminant colitis. We describe an unusual presentation of C. difficile infection after closure of ileostomy in a healthy 60-year-old man with a history of low anterior resection and defunctioning ileostomy for rectal tumour. On the third day postoperatively, the patient developed left lower abdominal pain and profuse diarrhoea. With worsening symptoms and steadily increasing inflammatory markers over the following few days, concerns were raised about an anastomotic leak with pelvic abscess. CT of the abdomen/pelvis on day 7 surprisingly showed colitis in the neorectum/sigmoid colon. A stool test confirmed C. difficile infection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
