CHERTSEY, Inglaterra, May 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

- Los primeros resultados completos del mayor estudio de prevalencia de la UE sobre infección por Clostridium difficile se presentarán en ECCMID 2014 

Elevada abundancia de datos del estudio EUCLID que se presentarán este año en ECCMID acerca de la infección por Clostridium difficile (CDI), una de las infecciones más comunes asociadas a los tratamientos de salud[1] 

El set completo de datos procedente de EUCLID, el mayor estudio de prevalencia jamás realizado de CDI en Europa, se presentará por primera vez en el 24th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Disease (ECCMID) de Barcelona, España, del 10 al 13 de mayo de 2014.

Los datos se añadirán a los resultados iniciales de EUCLID presentados el año pasado, que destacan que la diagnosis incorrecta podría estar en uno de cada cinco pacientes hospitalizados con diarrea, que podrían tener CDI[2], y proporcionará una visión superior del alcance actual de la falta de pruebas y falta de detección de la infección por C. difficile en Europa.

Estos resultados tan esperados, que se compartirán por medio de las presentaciones orales y póster, están relacionadas también con los datos específicos de los países sobre la infección por C. difficile, una enfermedad potencialmente mortal. La CDI es una de las causas más habituales de diarrea asociadas a los antibióticos, y los casos más severos pueden necesitar de cirugía intestinal e incluso producir la muerte[1]. Los pacientes de hospital con CDI tienen hasta tres veces más de posibilidades de fallecer en un hospital (o al mes de la infección) frente a los que no padecen CDI[3],[4].

El estudio de punto de prevalencia europeo multicentro, prospectivo y bianual de Clostridium difficile Infection in hospitalised patients with Diarrhoea (EUCLID) ha implicado a 482 hospitales de 20 países de Europa. El estudio lo está coordinando la University of Leeds, Reino Unido, por medio del grupo de investigación del profesor Mark Wilcox, con el apoyo del EUCLID Core Group. El estudio cuenta con fondos de Astellas Pharma Europe Ltd.

Acerca de la infección por Clostridium difficile 

La infección por CDI es una enfermedad grave causada por la infección de la línea interna del colon por la bacteria C. difficile. La bacteria produce toxinas que causan la inflamación del colon, diarrea y, en algunos casos, la muerte[5]. Los pacientes suelen desarrollar la CDI por el uso de antibióticos de amplio espectro que interrumpen la flora intestinal normal, permitiendo que se multiplique la bacteria C. difficile[5],[6]. CDI es la principal causa de diarrea adquirida en hospital (nosocomial) en los países industrializados[7] y el riesgo de CDI y de recurrencia de la enfermedad es particularmente elevado en los pacientes de 65 año y mayores[8]. La recurrencia de CDI ocurre en hasta un 25% de pacientes dentro de los 30 días de inicio del tratamiento con las terapias actuales[9],[10],[11]. La ESCMID ha identificado la recurrencia como el problema más importante en el tratamiento de CDI[12].
