How to: Clostridioides difficile infection in children

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2022
Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI) are traditionally attributed to an older adult patient group but children can also be affected. Although the causative pathogen is the same in both populations, the management of CDI may differ.To discuss the current literature on CDI in the paediatric population and to provide CDI diagnostics and treatment ...

Diagnosis and treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection

Medicina Clínica (English Edition), 2020
Clostridioides difficile is the main cause of healthcare-associated diarrhoea in adults. The incidence of C.difficile infection (CDI) has increased in recent years. The risk of recurrence of CDI is 15%-25% in a first episode and this risk is increased in subsequent episodes.

[Clostridioides difficile infections].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2023
Here, we describe the epidemiology, diagnostics, and treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in the primary health care setting. CDI is traditionally considered as a healthcare associated infection. However, infections with onset in the community represent a large proportion of CDI.

Clostridioides difficile infection diagnosis

Annales de Biologie Clinique
Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic enteropathogen responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical diseases ranging from mild diarrhoea to pseudomembranous colitis. It is the first cause of healthcare-associated diarrhoeas, but community-associated Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI) are increasingly reported in ...

Clostridioides difficile Infections: Prevention and Treatment Strategies

Clostridioides difficile is the most common causative agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. This spore forming, obligate anaerobic, gram-positive bacillus is becoming responsible for an increasing number of infections worldwide, both in community and in hospital settings, whose severity can vary widely from an asymptomatic infection to a lethal ...

Infection Prevention Approaches for Clostridioides difficile

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America
Clostridioides difficile prevention is challenging as spores are highly resilient and transmission sources diverse. Hand hygiene, contact precautions, and environmental decontamination are fundamental infection prevention strategies. Antimicrobial stewardship is highly effective at reducing C difficile risk at both the individual and institutional ...

Diagnostic Approaches for Clostridioides difficile Infection

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America
This article offers a clinically focused overview of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) diagnosis, emphasizing the need to test only symptomatic patients and to distinguish true infection from colonization. It reviews multistep diagnostic algorithms that pair glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) testing or nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) with ...

Clostridioides difficile infections among healthcare workers

American Journal of Infection Control, 2020
Health care workers (HCWs) are constantly exposed to patients with Clostridiodes difficile infection (CDI) although their risk developing infection is unknown. We designed a retrospective comparative study including HCWs with CDI and 2 comparator groups with a 1:2 ratio: HCWs without CDI and admitted patients with CDI.
