Abstract
The incidence of recurrent and refractory Clostridium difficile (rCDI) is increasing.1 Cirrhotic patients are at increased risk of CDI as a result of frequent hospitalizations, prophylactic antibiotics, proton pump inhibitor use, and comorbidities.2 In addition, cirrhotic patients with CDI have a higher mortality rate, longer length of stay, and a higher cost compared with noncirrhotic patients.3.Entities:
