The epidemiology of CDI has undergone major changes in the last decade, showing an increase in incidence, severity, and rate of relapse. These guidelines were developed by specialists from four scientific societies: Sociedad Argentina de Infectolog\u00eda (SADI), Sociedad Argentina de Gastroenterolog\u00eda (SAGE), Sociedad Argentina de Bacteriolog\u00eda, Micolog\u00eda y Parasitolog\u00eda Cl\u00ednicas (SADEBAC) and Asociaci\u00f3n de Enfermeras en Control de Infecciones (ADECI). The objective of these intersociety guidelines is to provide national recommendations on CDI diagnosis, treatment and prevention. The methodology used involved the systematic review of the bibliography available up to December 2018, which was performed by six groups formed ad hoc: Epidemiology, Diagnosis, Treatment, Fecal Microbiota Transplantation, Special Populations, and Infection Control. The conclusions were presented and discussed in meetings held by each individual group and plenary meetings. In this document, updated diagnosis algorithms, therapeutic options (including fecal microbiota transplant) for immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients are presented, as well as strategies for the control of C. difficile infection.","url":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&db=mdl&AN=31961792&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513&group=main&profile=eds","isPdfLink":true,"isSAML":false,"additionalInfo":{"Authored_By":"Barc\u00e1n L, Ducatenzeiler L, Bangher MDC, Barcelona L, Cornistein W, Daciuk L, De Paula J, Desse J, Dictar M, Fern\u00e1ndez-Canigia L, Nacinovich F, Scapellato P, Mart\u00ednez JV","Corporate_Authors":"Sociedad Argentina de Infectolog\u00eda (SADI), Sociedad Argentina de Gastroenterolog\u00eda (SAGE), Sociedad Argentina de Bacteriolog\u00eda, Micolog\u00eda y Parasitolog\u00eda Cl\u00ednicas (SADEBAC), Asociaci\u00f3n de Enfermeros en Control de Infecciones (ADECI), Grupo de Trabajo Epidemiolog\u00eda, Grupo de Trabajo Diagn\u00f3stico, Grupo de Trabajo Tratamiento, Grupo de Trabajo Trasplante de Microbiota Fecal, Grupo de Trabajo Poblaciones Especiales, Grupo de Trabajo Control de Infecciones","Journal_Info":"Publisher: Fundacio\u0301n Revista Medicina (Buenos Aires) Country of Publication: Argentina NLM ID: 0204271 Publication Model: Print Cited Medium: Internet ISSN: 1669-9106 (Electronic) Linking ISSN: 00257680 NLM ISO Abbreviation: Medicina (B Aires) Subsets: MEDLINE","Publication_Type":"Journal Article; Practice Guideline","Published_Date":"2020-01-01","Source":"Medicina [Medicina (B Aires)] 2020; Vol. 80 Suppl 1, pp. 1-32.","Languages":"Spanish; Castilian","Electronic_ISSN":"1669-9106","MeSH_Terms":"Clostridium Infections\/*diagnosis , Clostridium Infections\/*therapy, Argentina ; Clinical Laboratory Techniques ; Clostridium Infections\/prevention & control ; Humans ; Risk Factors ; Societies, Medical","Subjects":"Argentina, Clinical Laboratory Techniques, Clostridium Infections prevention & control, Humans, Risk Factors, Societies, Medical, Clostridium Infections diagnosis, Clostridium Infections therapy","Title_Abbreviations":"Medicina","Volume":"80 Suppl 1"},"header":{"DbId":"mdl","DbLabel":"MEDLINE Ultimate","An":"31961792","RelevancyScore":"863","PubType":"Academic Journal","PubTypeId":"academicJournal","PreciseRelevancyScore":"862.502807617188"},"plink":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&site=eds-live&db=mdl&AN=31961792&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513&group=main&profile=eds","upload_link":"https:\/\/search.ebscohost.com\/login.aspx?direct=true&site=eds-live&db=mdl&AN=31961792&authtype=shib&custid=ns346513&group=main&profile=eds"}
