Antimicrobial Agents and Clostridium difficile in Acute Enteric Disease: Epidemiological Data from Sweden, 1980-1982
Abstract
The carrier rate of Clostridium difficile in an adult Swedish population was found to be 11 (1.9%) of 594. All isolates were toxigenic in vitro, but no healthy individual harbored free cytotoxin in stool. Of 398 patients with acute diarrhea not associated with antibiotic use, cytotoxin was found in stool filtrates of four (1%). In 4,793 patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhea from all parts of Sweden during 1980-1982, C. difficile cytotoxin was demonstrated in 873 (18%). The tissue culture assay was found to be more specific than cultivation for the bacterium. By weighted analysis, in the age group greater than 70 years more women than men were infected. In the age group 21-50 years there was an even greater preponderance of infection in women than in men. Cephalosporins and lincosamides were 10-70 times more often implicated in C. difficile colitis than were narrow-spectrum penicillins.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
