Popis: Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile is the major cause of healthcare antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. However, extra-intestinal manifestations of Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile infection (CDI) (including bacteremia and tissue infection) are extremely rare. We report a case of extraintestinal CDI after surgery. The isolate of C. difficile was not the PCR ribotype 027. However, this isolate produced toxins A and B. The patient underwent a follow-up examination 30 days after discharge, which showed complete recovery. This case report adds to existing knowledge of CDI.
