摘要

To the Editor: Vonberg et al. (1) recently commented on the increase of Clostridium diffi cile seen in US hos-pitals by using discharge diagnoses and confi rmed the observation from the United States (2) with hospital discharge data from Germany during 2000 through 2004. C. diffi cile ribo-type 027 has recently been isolated in Germany (3). We further contribute to the assessment of C. diffi cile as an emerging threat by looking at popula-tion surveillance data.C. diffi cile is not a federal notifi -able disease in Germany, which limits our ability to analyze national sur-veillance trends. However, in 2002 the state of Saxony implemented ad-ditional mandatory surveillance of community- and hospital-acquired infectious enteritis caused by labora-tory-confi rmed C. diffi cile.To check for an increase in noti-fi cations due to reporting bias of gas-troenteric diseases, we compared the quarterly incidence data from 2002 through 2006 with data on Salmonella spp. infections (usually reported by lo-cal general practitioners) and rotavirus and norovirusinfections (both usually reported by clinics). The potential problem of reporting bias for gastro-enteric diseases has been addressed re-cently (4). Information about age and sex of C. diffi cile patients was avail-able for 2006 only
