Abstract

In response to the report of Ong and colleagues of a series of patients with levodopa/dopa decarboxylase inhibitor associated microscopic colitis, we report a case of entacapone associated microscopic colitis. We agree that chronic diarrhoea in patients with Parkinson's disease should prompt consideration of drug-induced microscopic colitis as the cause.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
