Zusammenfassung

Im Gegensatz zur Pathophysiologie ist die klinische Symptomatik der Erkrankung durch Clostridium difficile seit mindestens 15 Jahren gut bekannt, das therapeutische Vorgehen steht seither im Wesentlichen fest [Übersichten u.a. 2, 4, 6, 18, 36]. Dennoch scheint die Erkrankung im Bewußtsein der Ärzte noch nicht sicher verankert zu sein. Neben einer etwas unübersichtlichen Nomenklatur mag das an einem trotz aller Fortbildungsbemühungen mangelhaften Bekanntheitsgrad liegen. Insofern lohnt sich eine kurze Wiederholung der wichtigsten Tatsachen.
