摘要

To the Editor: Burckhardt et al. (1) recently reported on Clostridium diffi cile–associated disease (CDAD) in Saxony, Germany. In contrast to the observation by Wilcox and Fawleyin the United Kingdom (2), the report from Germany argued against a re-porting bias for gastroenteritides as a cause of the observed increase in the incidence of CDAD diagnoses from 2002 through 2006. To explore this issue further, I examined the potential in. uence of such reporting bias on the observed increase in the incidence of hospitalizations of patients with CDAD in the United States from 2000 through 2005.In the 2000–2005 data from the National Inpatient Sample data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (3,4), I identifi ed hospital-izations for gastrointestinal infections caused by C. diffi cile, Salmonella, ro-tavirus, and other unspecifi ed infec-tious agents, using the corresponding diagnosis codes from the International Classifi cation of Diseases, 9th Revi-sion, Clinical Modifi cation. I obtained censal and intercensal data on the num-bers of the U.S. population from 2000 through 2005 from the U.S. Census Bureau (5). Based on these records, I calculated hospitalization incidence for each of the infectious causes
