Abstract
During 2001,Clostridium difficileinfection was observed in 23 patients hospitalized in a hepatology ward (attack rate, 0.9%). Since strain typing ruled out a clonal dissemination, we performed a case-control study. In addition to antibiotic use as a risk factor, theC. difficileinfection rate was higher among patients with autoimmune hepatitis (P< .01).
