Patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy often have diarrhea, which may result from their treatment or Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). CDI diarrhea is an important diagnosis that can be missed if nurses are not vigilant in their assessments. Treatment for CDI diarrhea is different than that of chemotherapy- or radiation-induced diarrhea. If CDI diarrhea is not treated, it can become life threatening in some patients.
正在接受化疗的癌症患者经常会出现腹泻,这可能是由治疗本身或艰难梭菌感染(CDI)引起的。CDI腹泻是一种重要的诊断,如果护士在评估时不够警惕,可能会被漏诊。CDI腹泻的治疗方法与化疗或放疗引起的腹泻不同。如果CDI腹泻得不到治疗,在某些患者中可能会危及生命。
