This review summarizes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic testing, outcomes and management of both CDI and IBD, in CDI complicating IBD.Ĭrohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are 2 forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with an increasing incidence worldwide. Microbiota restoration therapies are effective to prevent recurrent CDI in IBD patients. The risk of recurrent CDI after a primary infection is higher in IBD compared to non-IBD patients. One needs to monitor IBD disease progression and manage immunosuppression. Recurrence prevention strategies should be implemented to mitigate recurrent CDI risk. First line treatments for management of CDI in IBD include vancomycin or fidaxomicin. Since the symptoms of CDI overlap with those of an IBD flare it is prudent to recognize that the diagnosis of CDI is challenging and diagnostic tests (nucleic-acid and toxin-based assays) should be interpreted in context of symptoms and test performance. difficile is a toxin producing bacterium leading to worsening of underlying IBD, increasing the risk of IBD treatment failure and an increased risk of hospitalization and surgery. Active IBD predisposes to CDI due to alterations in the gut microbiome. The most common infectious complication associated with IBD is Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). We achieve this through a dual focus of supporting our members and championing the profession.Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common diarrheal illness with gastrointestinal and extraintestinal manifestations and complications.
