Abstract

The epidemiology of Clostridium difficile infection is virtually unknown in Brazil. In this prospective study, 8.3% of patients with nosocomial diarrhea were found to have toxigenic strains of C difficile in their feces. The relevant risk factors for Clostridium difficile infection were receipt of solid organ transplantation and septic shock., (Copyright © 2014 Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc.

Abstract

Malaria chemoprophylaxis with doxycycline is commonly used in the United Kingdom and in many other countries. It is considered to be associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD). We describe a case of diarrhea and a positive stool assay for C. difficile in a returning traveler, and review available literature. The commonly held concept of an association between doxycycline chemoprophylaxis and CDAD is not supported by available data., (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
