Some patients are carriers of the organism and do not develop an active infection. These individuals may shed the organism and cause environmental contamination. Generally, mild C. diff infection (in addition to diarrhea) may result in: abdominal pain and cramping,
vasovesiculitis (vay-zoh-ve-sik-yoo-ly-tis) n. inflammation of the seminal vesicles and vas deferens. This usually occurs in association with prostatitis and causes pain in the perineum, groin, and scrotum and a high temperature.
Perihepatitis is defined as inflammation of the peritoneal capsule of the liver and is classically described as being associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (so-called Fitz-HughâCurtis syndrome). Fitz-HughâCurtis syndrome is thought to result from the peritoneal spread of infection from the pelvic cavity.
