| colitis, pseudomembranous | Severe inflammation of the inner lining of the colon due usually to the clostridium difficile (C.difficile) bacterium, one of the most common causes of infection of the large bowel (colon) in the United States, affecting millions of patients yearly. Patients taking antibiotics are at risk of becoming infected with C. Difficile. Antibiotics disrupt the natural bacteria of the bowel, allowing C. Difficile bacteria to become established in the colon. Many persons infected with C. Difficile bacteria have no symptoms. These people become carriers of the bacteria and can infect others. In some people, a toxin produced by C. Difficile causes diarrhoea, abdominal pain, severe inflammation of the colon (colitis), fever, an elevated white blood count, vomiting and dehydration. Rarely, the walls of the colon wear away and holes develop (colon perforation), which can lead to a life-threatening infection of the abdomen. (12 Dec 1998) |

| pseudomembranous | <anatomy> Marked by or pertaining to a pseudomembrane. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pseudomembranous bronchitis | Inflammation of the bronchial mucous membrane, accompanied by a fibrinous exudation, which often forms a cast of the bronchial tree with severe obstruction of air flow. Synonym: plastic bronchitis, pseudomembranous bronchitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pseudomembranous colitis | <gastroenterology> A form of gastroenteritis which occurs when there is an over-growth of Clostridium difficile bacteria in the intestine. This can occur after long-term treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics. (25 Nov 1998) |
| pseudomembranous conjunctivitis | A non-specific inflammatory reaction characterised by the appearance on the conjunctiva of a coagulated fibrinous plaque that may be peeled off from intact epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pseudomembranous enteritis | Enterocolitis with the formation and passage of pseudomembranous material in the stools; occurs most commonly as a sequel to antibiotic therapy; caused by a necrolytic exotoxin made by Clostridium difficile. Synonym: pseudomembranous colitis, pseudomembranous enteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pseudomembranous enterocolitis | Enterocolitis with the formation and passage of pseudomembranous material in the stools; occurs most commonly as a sequel to antibiotic therapy; caused by a necrolytic exotoxin made by Clostridium difficile. Synonym: pseudomembranous colitis, pseudomembranous enteritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pseudomembranous gastritis | Gastritis characterised by the formation of a false membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pseudomembranous inflammation | A form of exudative inflammation that involves mucous and serous membranes; relatively large quantities of fibrin in the exudate result in a rather tenacious membrane-like covering that is fairly adherent to the underlying acutely inflamed tissue; the pseudomembrane usually contains (in addition to the dense network of fibrin) varying quantities of plasma protein, degenerated and necrotic elements from the affected tissue, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, bacteria, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enterocolitis, pseudomembranous | Acute inflammation of the small and large intestinal mucosa with formation of pseudomembranous plaques over superficial ulceration. It is commonly associated with antibiotic therapy and clostridium difficile is often implicated. In infants it is known as necrotizing enterocolitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acute rhinitis | An acute catarrhal inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose, marked by sneezing, lacrimation, and a profuse secretion of watery mucus; usually associated with infection by one of the common cold viruses. Synonym: cold in the head, coryza. (05 Mar 2000) |
| allergic rhinitis | <immunology> An inflammatory response in the nasal passages to an allergic stimulus. Often includes: nasal congestion, sneesing, runny or itchy nose. (27 Sep 1997) |
| allergic rhinitis, perennial | Allergic rhinitis (hayfever) that occurs throughout the year. (12 Dec 1998) |
| allergic rhinitis, seasonal | Allergic rhinitis (hayfever) which occurs during a specific season. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atrophic rhinitis | Chronic rhinitis with thinning of the mucous membrane; often associated with crusts and foul-smelling discharge. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pseudomembranous rhinitis |
Fibrinous rhinitis .
