“…Moreover, there was a significant difference in the severity of diarrhea and age, older people being more likely to develop nosocomial diarrhea, which agrees with another study that found old age as an essential risk factor [ 33 ]. Another study [ 34 ] reported an incidence of nosocomial diarrhea in 3 to 28 adults for every 100 admissions, while in elderly patients over 70 years, it was 17 to 31 for every 100 admissions. Another study identified a relative risk of 6.6, 11.8, and 14.3 for the age groups 41 to 60, 61 to 75, and over 75 years, respectively [ 34 35 ].…”

“…Environmental C. difficile may act as a source of nosocomial infection in human and veterinary hospitals, especially in patients predisposed to infection by treatment with broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs. 26,28,36 In conclusion, the documented widespread dissemination of C. difficile spores in a veterinary teaching hospital draws attention to its potential for causing nosocomial or perhaps even zoonotic infection in this environment.…”

“…This study documents the prevalence of this organism in the environment and its potential role in nosocomial disease.Clostridium difficile is a gram-positive anaerobic bacterium that is an important cause of diarrhea in humans, 2,22,25 and a commonly identified nosocomial pathogen in human hospitals. [26][27][28]31 Other than hamsters and guinea pigs, the exact role of this pathogen in domestic animals is less clear, although increasingly it is associated with enterocolitis in horses. 3,4,16,19,20,24,31,33 Clostridium difficile is implicated in approximately 20-25% of cases of enterocolitis in adult horses and foals at the Ontario Veterinary College.…”

“…Τα λοιμώδη αίτια διάρροιας στο περιβάλλον της ΜΕΘ αυξάνουν τις πιθανότητες εμφάνισης επιπλοκών και τη μετάδοση του αιτιολογικού παράγοντα μεταξύ των ασθενών και του ιατρονοσηλευτικού προσωπικού 91. Οι διάρροιες στη ΜΕΘ συμβάλλουν στην παρατεταμένη νοσηλεία των ασθενών και οδηγούν σε μεγαλύτερη έκθεση σε ενδονοσοκομειακές λοιμώξεις με αποτέλεσμα την αύξηση της νοσηρότητας και της θνητότητας 75,92. Οι διάρροιες στη ΜΕΘ αυξάνουν τον μέσο όρο παραμονής των ασθενών κατά 8 ημέρες ενώ η αύξηση αυτή στους ηλικιωμένους ασθενείς είναι μεγαλύτερη 99,1077.…”
