Review Overview of Clostridium difficile infection:
, 2013
"... The incidence and severity of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) have dramatically increased in the Western world in recent years. In contrast, CDI is rarely reported in China, possibly due to under-diagnosis. This article briefly summarizes CDI incidence, management and preventive strategies. Th ..."

Clostridium difficile Infection in Patients
, 2001
"... Clostridium difficile is the most important cause of nosocomial infectious diarrhea. The importance of C. difficile–associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been poorly investigated in patients with neutropenia who have hematologic malignancies. A retrospective chart review of all patients treated in the leuk ..."

Seasonality of Clostridium difficile infections in
, 2011
"... considerably in Southeastern Germany. A clear seasonality was observed with a higher number of affected patients occurring in the winter months (January–March). Moxifloxacin and erythromycin-resistant C. difficile PCR ribotypes 001 (72%) and 027 (4.6%) were the most commonly isolated strains. Key wo ..."
Resources for Prevention of Clostridium difficile Infection
"... Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is among the most common causes of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in community hospitals (1). The CDC reported a greater than five-fold increase in the rate of age-adjusted deaths due to CDI in the US from 1999 to 2006 (2). The average hospital cost for p ..."

Diagnostic Testing for Clostridium difficile Infection
"... Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is one of the most common causes of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in community hospitals (1). Early and accurate diagnosis of CDI is paramount to providing optimal care for patients with this infection and decreasing risk of transmission to other hospita ..."
