pubmed:abstractText |
Toxic megacolon is a rare consequence of infection with Entamoeba histolytica. We present such a patient in whom the course of disease may have been influenced by heavy loperamide use. Loperamide and other anti-motility agents have been implicated previously in the pathogenesis of toxic megacolon in patients with infectious gastroenteritis.
