Pleural infection with Clostridium difficile is extremely rare. A case of nosocomial empyema following chest drain insertion in a 46 year old man is described. The potential of C difficile to cause extra-intestinal infections should be recognised and its isolation from other sites should not be ignored.
艰难梭菌引起的胸膜感染极为罕见。本文描述了一例46岁男性在插入胸腔引流管后发生医院获得性脓胸的病例。应认识到艰难梭菌引起肠外感染的可能性,且不应忽视从其他部位分离出该菌的情况。
