Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is one of the leading health care acquired-infections in the United States, but much of the epidemiology and burden of disease is unknown in China. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and possible risk factors of CDI among hospitalized patients with diarrhea in Wuhan, China. The overall prevalence of CDI was 28% (31/111). The findings of this study suggest the prevalence of CDI in hospitalized patients with diarrhea is higher then what has been previously reported in the current literature.
艰难梭菌感染(CDI)是美国主要的医疗保健相关感染之一,但在中国,该病的许多流行病学特征和疾病负担尚不清楚。本研究的目的是确定中国武汉腹泻住院患者中CDI的患病率及可能的危险因素。CDI的总体患病率为28%(31/111)。本研究结果表明,腹泻住院患者中CDI的患病率高于当前文献中先前报道的患病率。
