“…A more mysterious ailment is the diarrhea which occasionally follows major surgery in the gastrointestinal tract (243,1071). The work of Howie and his collaborators indicates that endogenous strains of C. perfringens type A may be involved, for not only do these organisms increase markedly in numbers, but also they colonize the upper ileum and even the gastric remnant, where they do not usually occur.…”

“…Therefore, medical and surgical treatments that decrease gastric acid secretion may increase the risk of digestive tract infection. For example, the use of gastric acid-suppressing agents is associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile infection 11 . Moreover, gastrectomy has been associated with enterocolitis 10 11 12 13 .…”

Whether patients who have undergone gastrectomy are at a high risk of developing pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) remains debatable. From the inpatient claims records of Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database, we identified 33 834 patients with a history of 2000–2010 and135 336 controls without a history of gastrectomy. The 2cohorts were matched by age, sex, and admission year and followed-up until the end of 2011 for estimating the risk of PLA. Overall, the incidence of PLA was 3.5-fold higher in the gastrectomy cohort than in the control cohort (21.6 vs 5.76 per 10 000 person-y). The adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) for the gastrectomy cohort obtained using the multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was 3.08 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.60–3.64). An elevated post gastrectomy PLA risk was observed in both men and women. Age-specific data revealed that the aHR for the gastrectomy cohort, compared with the control cohort, was the highest in patients younger than 50 years (aHR = 5.16, 95% CI = 2.96–9.01). An addition analysis showed that the gastrectomy cohort exhibited an elevated PLA risk regardless of whether the patients underwent total or partial gastrectomy. Patients with a history of gastrectomy exhibit a high risk of PLA.

“…Among others, Dawson-Edwards and Morrissey (1955) and Kay, Richards, and Watson (1958) described cases of acute necrotizing colitis characterized by disseminated areas of congestion, necrosis, and ulceration of the mucosa. Not all of these cases could properly be described as "pseudomembranous" colitis, but they lacked the massive haemorrhage seen in the present series.…”
