Forty-one children with a variety of gastrointestinal complaints were diagnosed with Clostridium difficile infections as part of a routine screen over 3 years. The infection had not been suspected prior to the screen. Each child responded to treatment with metronidazole with resolution of their symptoms. These data suggest that community-associated C difficile is increasing and may produce atypical disease and lead to misdiagnosis.
在为期3年的常规筛查中，41名有各种胃肠道不适症状的儿童被诊断出感染艰难梭菌。在筛查之前并未怀疑有该感染。每个孩子对甲硝唑治疗均有反应，症状得到缓解。这些数据表明，社区相关性艰难梭菌感染正在增加，可能会导致非典型疾病并引起误诊。
