“…In a comparison of eight methods for terminal disinfection aimed specifically at the elimination of C. difficile, Doan et al (2012) concluded that the release of HPV was the most effective method, but was also the most expensive, confirming the earlier statements of Vonberg et al (2008) and Davies et al (2011). Doan et al (2012) claimed that disinfection with a chlorine-releasing agent, although marginally less effective than HPV, was considerably cheaper and therefore should be considered the method of choice.…”

“…Some systems use forced convection following release of the vapor=spray, which assists in the distribution of the vapor within the room, whereas others do not, relying solely on diffusion. There appears to be general agreement that the HPV decontamination method is effective, but criticism has been directed at the lengthy treatment cycle times (Vonberg et al, 2008;Davies et al, 2011;Maillard, 2011;Doan et al, 2012). Not only must the HPV be released and be allowed to act, but following the disinfection phase its concentration must fall to a safe level (typically 1 ppm) before healthcare personnel and patients can be readmitted.…”

“…In a German case-control study, it was calculated that hospital costs were quadrupled for patients who developed nosocomial Clostridium difficile enterocolitis (17). Refractory and recurrent cases, as in the patient described here, account for a large part of this increase in costs (Figure 2).…”

“…В детской популяции уровень ААД колеблется от 11 до 40% [4]. При развитии ААД увеличивается длительность госпитализации паци-ентов, повышается риск развития осложнений и других нозокомиальных инфекций [5,6], при этом стоимость лечения может возрастать в 4 раза [7].Применение использования двух и более антибиоти-ков широкого спектра действия отмечалось в 58% случаев лечения антибиотиками до 2004 г., согласно исследованию ВОЗ. Этот показатель превзошел рекомендуемый уровень (30%) в значительной степени.…”
