Washington, Sept 27 : A new research has revealed that patients with both Clostridium difficile infection (C-difficile) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, are four times more likely to die than patients with just IBD or C difficile infection.
Clostridium difficile infection is the main cause of diarrhoea among patients, and in recent years, the numbers of new cases of the infection have been steadily increasing.
