Community-Acquired Clostridium difficile–Associated Diarrhea, Montréal, 2005–2006: Frequency Estimates and Their Validity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
A retrospective search for community-acquired Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea in 15 hospitals revealed important discrepancies with numbers for the same period reported in real time to the surveillance system. Several of the observed problems could be solved by implementing case-by-case notification with subsequent investigation by local public health, as for other reportable diseases.
