Late anti-toxin-B humoral immunity acquired after treatment is important for preventing recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection. We prospectively-measured anti-toxin-B IgG and neutralization titers at diagnosis as potential early predictors of recurrence. High anti-toxin-B-IgG/neutralizing antibodies were associated with short-lasting protection within 6-weeks, however, no difference in recurrence risk was observed by 90-days post-infection.
治疗后获得的晚期抗毒素 B 体液免疫对于预防复发性艰难梭菌感染很重要。我们前瞻性地测量了诊断时的抗毒素 B IgG 和中和效价,作为复发的潜在早期预测指标。高抗毒素 B-IgG/中和抗体与 6 周内的短期保护相关,但在感染后 90 天,复发风险没有差异。
