We report the case of an 85-year-old woman who developed diarrhea and bacteremia caused by Clostridium difficile after a prolonged hospitalization. C. difficile is a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea but only rarely has been reported to cause extraintestinal infection. Isolation of C. difficile from a wide range of specimens outside the intestinal tract has been reported and is not always associated with diarrhea or intestinal pathology.
我们报告了一例85岁女性患者的病例，该患者在长期住院后出现了由艰难梭菌引起的腹泻和菌血症。艰难梭菌是抗生素相关性腹泻的主要原因，但据报道很少引起肠道外感染。已报道从肠道外的多种标本中分离出艰难梭菌，且并不总是与腹泻或肠道病理相关。
