Abstract
A 32-yr-old woman developed frequent watery diarrhea with occult blood after 3 days treatment with clindamycin vaginal cream. Clostridium difficile toxin was demonstrated in stool samples and was considered the cause of an antibiotic-associated diarrhea. No other antibiotic was used at least 3 months before the start of diarrhea. To our knowledge, antibiotic-associated diarrhea after vaginal application has previously been reported only once.
