Clostridium difficile enterotoxin (D-1) was detected in 13 symptomatic and nine asymptomatic neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit by latex agglutination test but was not found in 18 healthy neonates in two other newborn nurseries. Environmental contamination in the intensive care unit may have been the cause. An association between the presence of enterotoxin and clinical symptoms is discussed.
通过乳胶凝集试验在新生儿重症监护病房的13例有症状新生儿和9例无症状新生儿中检测到艰难梭菌肠毒素(D-1),但在另外两个新生儿保育室的18例健康新生儿中未发现。重症监护病房的环境污染可能是原因。本文讨论了肠毒素的存在与临床症状之间的关联。
