• Description:
  In 2015, a total of 17,354 cases of C. difficile infection (CDI) were reported to the Emerging Infections Program (EIP) in 35 counties in 10 US states (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Tennessee).
  
  The overall distribution of EIP CDI cases and crude incidence by selected demographic factors and epidemiologic classification are presented in Table 1. Data in this report are not intended to be directly compared to annual reports from other years, and should not be used to determine annual changes in EIP CDI incidence rates because single year calculations do not account for changes in testing practices by reporting facilities.
