Emergence of community-acquired Clostridium difficile infection: the experience of a French hospital and review of the literature

Abstract: CDI can cause community-acquired diarrhoea, and CA-CDI may be more severe than HCA-CDI. Prospective studies of CDI involving people from the general community without risk factors are required to confirm this observation.

“…A retrospective cohort study illustrated that nearly 82% of CA‐CDI diagnoses were effectively managed in an ambulatory setting without requiring any hospitalizations . These data conflict with a recent publication that showed a higher rate of severe and worse outcomes in patients with CA‐CDI than in those patients with HA‐CDI (85% and 74%, respectively) …”

“…Lo anterior puede estar relacionado con la ausencia de controles en la prescripción de antimicrobianos en pacientes ambulatorios 7,8 , o la circulación de las esporas de este microorganismo en el medioambiente, que facilita la transmisión a población susceptible de la comunidad. Diferentes estudios han descrito un incremento paulatino de las infecciones adquiridas en la comunidad por C. difficile, con tasas entre el 19 y el 70% [9][10][11][12] , diferencia que podría explicarse por las poblaciones estudiadas y por la inclusión de servicios de hospitalización domiciliaria en estos reportes. Dada la mayor oferta de estos servicios en nuestro medio, el impacto de las infecciones por C. difficile debería ser estudiado en este ámbito.…”

“…Dada la mayor oferta de estos servicios en nuestro medio, el impacto de las infecciones por C. difficile debería ser estudiado en este ámbito. Otra diferencia reportada en otros estudios es que los pacientes con C. difficile de la comunidad son una población más joven, con mayor frecuencia del sexo femenino y que presentan mayores tasas de colitis pseudomembranosa [9][10][11][12] . Por otra parte, se ha descrito que hasta el 23% de ellos no tienen factores de riesgo tradicionales para C. difficile 13 .…”

“…A study on 136 patients (19% community acquired; 81% healthcare acquired) showed that one of the major risk factors of infection is long-term treatment with PPIs [69]. Mechanistically, the risk of pneumonia and Clostridium difficile infection caused by PPIs remains unclear.…”
