| Abstract: | This report presents an overview of the epidemiology, diagnosis, complications, and treatment of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea in acute and long-term care facilities. More studies are needed to understand the epidemiology of this disease in long-term care facilities, to identify the risk factors for its recurrence, and to evaluate new treatment modalities. |
