Este estudio evalúa si la exposición a un paciente hospitalizado aumenta la incidencia de la infección por Clostridioides difficile (ICD) en sus familiares. Se compara la incidencia de ICD en personas con algún familiar hospitalizado al que han visitado o cuidado en los últimos 60 días y la incidencia de personas no expuestas y se objetiva un aumento de la incidencia de ICD en los familiares expuestos a este factor. De este modo, se puede concluir que la exposición a un familiar hospitalizado aumenta la incidencia de ICD en la comunidad.
