NSIH-CDIF - Infections associées aux soins de santé : Clostridioides difficile

Les infections à Clostridioides difficile (ICD) sont une cause majeure de diarrhée et de colite pseudomembrane dans les environnements de soins aigus et chroniques. En raison de l’incidence croissante et de l’évolution des souches hypervirulentes des infections à Clostridioides difficile (ICD), la société belge de contrôle des infections, en collaboration avec Sciensano, organise une surveillance nationale dans les hôpitaux afin de déterminer l’incidence des IDC dans notre pays. L’enregistrement a débuté le 1 juillet 2006.

Population Coverage
The population of NSIH_CDIF comprises all acute hospitals in Belgium (eligible through the Royal Decree). Hospitals are not obliged to participate completely to this surveillance.
Purposes
  • Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI) are a major cause of severe diarrhea and inflammation of the colon (colitis) in healthcare institutions. They are considered as ’healthcare associated infections’ (HAI) as they usually occur after treatment with antibiotics. The objective of this project is to monitor the occurrence and severity of CDI cases in Belgian hospitals, in order to draw appropriate infection prevention and control measures.

Provenance
  • Participation in the surveillance is voluntary and requires the registration of all cases identified in the hospital during at least one semester per year and the shipment of 5 consecutive strains to the NRC for typing.
