Clinical and molecular characteristics of community-acquired Clostridium difficile infections in comparison with those of hospital-acquired C. ádifficile
Community-acquired Clostridium difficile infection (CA-CDI) is a growing concern. CA-CDI
differs from hospital-acquired C. ádifficile infection (HA-CDI) in its epidemiology, risk factors,
severity, and outcomes. In this study, we investigated C. ádifficile infections in a tertiary care
hospital in Seoul, Korea, and compared the CA-CDI and HA-CDI cases diagnosed in the
same period. Total 593 cases were confirmed as CDI in 2014, of which CA-CDI accounted
for 68 (11.5%) of the total CDI cases. Compared with HA-CDI, the mean age of CA-CDI …
