Clostridium difficile Infection
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2017Clostridium difficile infection is a major health care challenge in terms of patient and economic consequences. For the patient, it is a morbid and sometimes a life-threatening iatrogenic complication of antibiotic treatment. In the United States, the provider's institution may face financial penalties, because the Centers for Disease Control and ...

Clostridium difficile Infection
Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 1996The spore-forming anaerobe Clostridium difficile has become a serious enteropathogen. Changes in the composition of natural intestinal flora, mainly due to antibiotic therapy, permit its colonization of, and multiplication in, the colon. The disease is caused by (entero)toxin A and (cyto)toxin B, and infection ranges from asymptomatic carrier state and

CLOSTRIDIUM SORDELLI INFECTION
The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1975A case of human Clostridium sordelli soft tissue infection is presented. Analysis of this patient's course led to the use of a mouse experimental model for examination of this organism's potential for toxin production. Data thus obtained correlated with that seen in this instance of human infection, indicates that the lethal effects of this organism ...

Clostridium difficile infection
BMJ, 2009Rangaiah and colleagues comment that currently used tests for Clostridium difficile toxin are not very sensitive.1 However, the specificity of these commercial assays also ranges from 97% to 99%, meaning that approximately 1-2 out of every 10 positive results using these kits are incorrect.2 False positive results are even more likely when testing ...

Clostridium difficile Infection
Annual Review of Medicine, 1998Clostridium difficile infection is associated with broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy and is the most common cause of infectious diarrhea in hospital patients. Pathogenic strains of C. difficile produce two protein exotoxins, toxin A and toxin B, which cause colonic mucosal injury and inflammation. Infection may be asymptomatic, cause mild diarrhea, or

CNS Infection with Clostridium septicum
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2000We present an unusual case of Clostridium septicum brain infection in a 72-yr-old woman who had no underlying malignant disease. The infection spread from a localized sit to the CNS causing gas formation. The patient died rapidly.

Infection control: Clostridium Difficile
Nursing and Residential Care, 2007Clostridium difficile is a gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria that produces toxins when infection occurs. Infection can cause diarrhoea or life-threatening colitis ( Barbut et al, 2007 ). There has been an 85% reduction in hospital-acquired Clostridium difficile infections over the past eight years ( Public Health England, 2014 ).

GAS GANGRENE is a problem that still confronts the surgical service of all hospitals. Although it is known as a common complication of battle injuries, the disease is also a complication of civilian trauma, and more distressing it is a sequela of elective surgery. 1-5 There is evidence in recent literature that oxygen inspired at increased pressure can
