    Abstract

    The production of antitoxin after Clostridium difficile-induced diarrhoea has not been reported previously. The stool of a patient with prolonged antibiotic-associated diarrhoea contained C. difficile toxin, and the serum neutralised the cytopathic effect of C. difficile toxin in tissue culture.
