波士顿医学中心(BMC)和波士顿大学医学院(BUSM)的研究人员证实肥胖是难辨梭菌感染的一种可能风险因子。该发现在线报道于急性感染性疾病(Emerging Infectious Diseases)杂志。可能有助于提高人们对高度危险疾病的临床监视。难辨梭菌感染(CDI)是一种肠道细菌感染,传统认为,它是一种与医疗保健相关的感染。花在CDI的医疗费用估计在4.9~10亿,因此对健康系统有重要的经济影响,而且它也是住院患者中感染性腹泻的主要原因。在过去的10年间,每年CDI医院粪便诊断数从13.9万份上升至36.66万份,大约增加了1倍,医生们现已开始关注那些
Researchers at Boston Medical Center (BMC) and Boston College of Medicine (BUSM) have confirmed that obesity is a possible risk factor for C. difficile infection. This finding is reported online in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. May help to improve people's clinical surveillance of highly dangerous diseases. Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a gut bacterial infection traditionally thought to be a healthcare-related infection. The medical costs spent on CDI are estimated at 4.9 to 1 billion and therefore have a significant economic impact on health systems and are also a major cause of infectious diarrhea in hospitalized patients. Over the past 10 years, the number of stool diagnoses per year at CDI hospitals has risen to 366,600 from 139,000, an increase of about 1 time, and doctors are now beginning to pay attention to those
