[A case of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection with type 2 diabetes mellitus indicating the usefulness of metformin hydrochloride].
A 76-year-old woman undergoing insulin treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus at our hospital was diagnosed with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). She was treated with metronidazole, vancomycin hydrochloride, and fidaxomicin. Metformin hydrochloride in combination with fidaxomicin was administered to control the exacerbated symptoms. The diarrhea disappeared two days later, and colonoscopy confirmed the resolution of pseudomembranes eight days later. Till approximately two years after discharge, no recurrence was observed. Here metformin hydrochloride was suggested to be useful for the treatment of recurrent CDI with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
