Abstract
Clostridioides difficile causes nosocomial diarrhoea associated with antibiotic use and immunodeficiency. Although the number of paediatric C. difficile infections (CDIs) has increased worldwide, there are few studies on the molecular characterization of strains causing CDIs among children. We report the clinical features and strain molecular characterization of a CDI in a female child with a history of liver transplantation at 7 months of age. This is the first report of the 046 ribotype causing paediatric diarrhoea.
