| Abstract |
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication rarely develops into antibiotic-associated hemorrhagic colitis (AAHC), in which the etiology of colitis remains unclear. We herein report a rare case of AAHC caused by second-line therapy for H. pylori eradication. A 65-year-old female was administered second-line therapy for H. pylori composed of 1500 mg of amoxicillin, 500 mg of metronidazole and 40 mg of vonoprazan for 7 days because of first-line therapy failure. A day after completing second-line therapy, she complained of abdominal pain and hematochezia. Colonoscopy revealed a hemorrhage and edematous mucosa with no transparent vascular pattern in the transverse colon. A bacterial culture detected Klebsiella oxytoca (K. oxytoca), but no other pathogenic bacteria. A drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation test (DLST) showed positive reactions for both amoxicillin and metronidazole. According to these findings, the patient was diagnosed with AAHC. Bowel rest for 6 days relieved her abdominal pain and hematochezia. The present case developed AAHC caused by second-line therapy for H. pylori eradication. The pathogenesis is considered to be associated with microbial substitution as well as a delayed-type allergy to antibiotics, suggesting that AAHC is a potential adverse event of second-line therapy for H. pylori eradication. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 August 2017.
All research outputs
#20,442,790
of 22,997,544 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials
#537
of 611 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#277,277
of 317,683 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials
#17
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,997,544 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 611 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,683 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
