Аннотация

В марте 2018 г. были опубликованы совместные рекомендации Американского общества по инфекционным болезням (Infectious Diseases Society of America, IDSA) и Американского общества эпидемиологии здравоохранения (Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America, SHEA) по ведению пациентов различных возрастных групп с инфекцией, вызванной Clostridium difficile (ИКД). Данный документ в настоящий момент является самым объёмным и современным источником информации по данной тематике. В представленном обзоре изложены основные положения вышеуказанных рекомендаций, а также их сравнение с текущими версиями рекомендаций Европейского общества по клинической микробиологии и инфекционным болезням (ESCMID) и с опубликованными в 2015 г. рекомендациями Российской гастроэнтерологической ассоциации по диагностике и лечению Clostridium difficile-ассоциированной болезни.
