Antibiotic treatment for Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea in adults

The effects of statins on the clinical outcomes ofClostridium difficileinfection in hospitalised patients

“…Thus, the values included in the score were obtained as close as possible to the date of diagnosis of CDI. Peak serum creatinine and WBC counts (defined as the highest value within 7 days of CDI diagnosis) have been correlated with increased complications and mortality in CDI by other investigators . In our study, low serum albumin and high serum creatinine, but not CRP, were associated with treatment failure when measured within 3 days of the CDI diagnosis.…”

Antidiarrheal Effect of Food Fermented by Various Strains of Lactobacillus

“…But nowadays their acceptance has decreased because of their inability to reduce the bowel movement frequency and prevention of fluid loss and to shorten the illness duration. However, it can make up the deficiency of minerals in the body (Bricker and others ). The higher dose of antibiotics, which are used for the treatment of this disease, can cause the appearance of Clostridium difficile infection (Bergone‐Berezin ; Armuzzi and others ).…”

The CFD driven optimisation of a modified venturi for cavitational activity

“…Adverse effects include nausea and vomiting, a metallic taste, peripheral neuropathy (with prolonged therapy), and a disulfiram‐like reaction when used in conjunction with alcohol. Despite these limitations, metronidazole is still considered the first‐line therapy for the initial or even the second episode of nonsevere CDAD in patients who have a functioning gut 89, 90. Recently, however, there has been an increasingly high rate of failure and recurrence reported with metronidazole therapy, perhaps as high as 25% in each category 91, 92.…”
