Use of gastric acid-suppressive agents and the risk of community-acquired Clostridium difficile-associated disease.
CONTEXT Recent reports suggest an increasing occurrence and severity of Clostridium difficile-associated disease. We assessed whether the use of gastric acid-suppressive agents is associated with an increased risk in the community. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the use of gastric acid-suppressive agents increases the risk of C difficile-associated disease in a community population. DESIGN,...

متن کاملCommunity-Acquired Clostridium difficile Infection, Queensland, Australia
in the case-patient’s family or the community. On the basis of a matching surname, case-patient E was determined to be a member of the same family as case-patients P20, P26, and likely C. Soft tissue infection was documented in all 5 casepatients, supporting the original observation that ST2371 is associated with disease. Evidence of familial transmission in the original outbreak is further sup...
متن کاملAssociation between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Community-Acquired Pneumonia
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can predispose individuals to lower airway infections and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) due to upper airway microaspiration. This study evaluated the association between OSA and CAP. METHODS We performed a case-control study that included 82 patients with CAP and 41 patients with other infections (control group). The controls ...
متن کاملAssociation Between Appendectomy and Clostridium difficile Infection
BACKGROUND Recent theory proposes that the appendix functions as a reservoir for commensal bacteria, and serves to re-inoculate the colon with normal flora in the event of pathogen exposure or purging of intestinal flora. If true, we reasoned that flora from a normal appendix could provide protection against Clostridium difficile. We conducted this investigation to examine the protective effect...
