Abstract
The article presents data on cases of pseudomembranous colitis registered in the region in patients infected with SARS-CoV‑2. A preliminary analysis of 214 cases of pseudomembranous colitis was carried out, of which 99 people died. As an illustration of the significance of the problem, the medical history of a patient with coronavirus infection and pseudomembranous colitis is presented. The article presents a point of view on the reasons for the increase in the number of cases of pseudomembranous colitis during the COVID‑19 pandemic.
