The Epidemiology of Community Clostridium difficile Infection: A Five-Year Population-Based Study on the Bailiwick of Jersey, Channel Islands
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 February 2018
Abstract
We studied healthcare-associated and community-associated Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in Jersey, Channel Islands (2008–2012). The Island’s stable population has reliable denominator data, a clearly defined at-risk population, and healthcare contact that is easily followed. The vast majority of CDI cases had had recent healthcare contact, and true community-associated disease is extremely rare.
