摘要：

We report the case of an 85-year-old woman who developed diarrhea and bacteremia caused by Clostridium difficile after a prolonged hospitalization. C. difficile is a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea but only rarely has been reported to cause extraintestinal infection, Isolation of C. difficile from a wide range of specimens outside the intestinal tract has been reported and is not always associated with diarrhea or intestinal pathology.
