Abstract: Objective To analyze the process of diagnosing and treating a rare case of microscopic colitis detected during histopathological examination of a patient with chronic diarrhea, who had long been taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Methods Related literature was reviewed while the characteristics of drug-induced microscopic colitis and the mechanism of PPI-induced microscopic colitis were analyzed to determine the adverse drug reactions in this case. Results Irregular and long-term use of a PPI was likely to lead to drug-induced microscopic colitis. Conclusion Clinical pharmacists ought to use their knowledge of pharmacy to quickly discover the adverse reactions caused by drugs in clinical diagnosis and treatment, which can provide reference for the rational use of PPIs in clinical practice.

Key words: drug-induced microscopic colitis, proton pump inhibitor, adverse drug reactions
