Background
Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) possess numerous risk factors for Clostridioides (formerly Clostridium) difficile infection (CDI) and experience a high rate of diarrhea. Colonization rates of Clostridium difficile vary greatly among subgroup analyses with recent studies demonstrating colonization rates in the blood and marrow transplant units up to nine times...
Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of healthcare‐associated infections worldwide. The diagnosis of C. difficile infection (CDI) in pediatric oncology patients is complex as diarrhea is common, and there is a high rate of colonization in infants and young children. This study was conducted to assess the accuracy of the surveillance definitions of healthcare‐associated CDI (HA‐CDI) and to determine...
The aim of this study was to investigate the rate of asymptomatic colonization rate of Clostridium difficile among both healthcare workers (HCWs) and patients in a hospital ward in Sweden. In a prospective observational study, asymptomatic HCWs (n = 22) (22/60; 37%) attending patients in an infectious disease ward in Sweden participated and were screened once for C. difficile. At the same time, 58...
