the infections with Clostridium difficile (ICD), starting with February 2014, once with the etiological
investigation of this pathology in an emergency county hospital; the aim of the study was to evaluate the
incidence of ICD in the discharged patients; the level of incidence of the positive cases of 0.85/1000
patients-days was comparable or even higher than the results from the previous studies conducted in
hospitals from European or North American countries that have active surveillance systems for this type
of infection.
