Clostridium difficile infection rates are higher in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplants. In our study, patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplants or chemotherapy were screened for C difficile colonization at admission and placed on contact precautions if they were positive. Patient's colonized with C difficile contribute to the overall burden of C difficile infection in hospitals.
艰难梭菌感染率在接受造血干细胞移植的患者中较高。在我们的研究中,对接受造血干细胞移植或化疗的患者在入院时进行艰难梭菌定植筛查,如果检测结果为阳性,则对其采取接触预防措施。定植艰难梭菌的患者导致医院中艰难梭菌感染的总体负担增加。
