Risk factors for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.

BACKGROUND Recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) represents a significant burden on the healthcare system and is associated with poor outcomes in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients. Data are limited evaluating recurrence rates and risk factors for recurrence in HSCT patients. METHODS HSCT patients who developed CDI between January 2010 and December 2012 were divided ...

Clostridium difficile Infection in Solid Organ and Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

Patients undergoing solid organ and stem cell transplantation are at increased risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) compared with nontransplant patients. CDI may be associated with significant morbidity in this population including prolonged hospitalization, increased hospital charges, and complications in the transplanted organ. A combination of host factors, including both B-cell and...

Clostridium difficile Infection in Special High-Risk Populations

Antibiotic use continues to be the most important risk factor for the development of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) through disruption of the indigenous microbiota of the colon. This factor, together with environmental contamination, makes hospital and other healthcare facilities the perfect breeding ground for the infection. Several groups of patients are exposed to the hospital environ...

Epidemiology and outcomes of Clostridium difficile infections in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.

Background. Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of infectious diarrhea among hospitalized patients and is a major concern for patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Risk factors and the natural history of C. difficile infection (CDI) are poorly understood in this population. Methods. We performed a retrospective nested case-control study to describe the epide...

Early Clostridium difficile Infection during Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is frequently diagnosed in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We characterized early-transplant CDI and its associations, and analyzed serially-collected feces to determine intestinal carriage of toxigenic C. difficile. Fecal specimens were collected longitudinally from 94 patients during allo-HSCT hospitalization,...
