Abstract
We report on a 32-year old patient who developed acute abdominal cramps and bloody diarrhea two days after taking phenoxymethyl penicillin. After excluding other causes, we diagnosed an acute segmental hemorrhagic penicillin associated colitis. In this case report we discuss the literature on this diagnosis and present the etiology, course, prognosis, and differential diagnosis of this entity.
