Clostridium difficile infection is discussed relatively rarely as a nosocomial problem in Norway. Epidemiological studies have shown Clostridium difficile diarrhoea to be frequently an antibiotica-associated nosocomial disease. We describe a material consisting of 22 patients with Clostridium difficile infection from a county hospital in Norway. The inclusion criteria were a clinical disease with diarrhoea and a positive test for Clostridium difficile toxin A and/or B in the faeces. 11 patients were or had been hospitalized for a short period in one specific medical ward when diagnosed. These and five other patients probably had a hospital-acquired Clostridium difficile infection. We discuss the nosocomial aspect and the clinical characteristics of the disease in our material.
在挪威，艰难梭菌感染作为一个医院感染问题相对较少被讨论。流行病学研究表明，艰难梭菌腹泻常常是一种与抗生素相关的医院感染性疾病。我们描述了一组来自挪威一家县级医院的22例艰难梭菌感染患者的资料。纳入标准为患有腹泻的临床疾病且粪便中艰难梭菌毒素A和/或B检测呈阳性。11例患者在确诊时曾在一个特定内科病房短期住院。这些患者以及另外5例患者可能患有医院获得性艰难梭菌感染。我们讨论了我们资料中该疾病的医院感染方面及临床特征。
