Оценить частоту выявления инфекции Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) и ее влияние на тяжесть состояния и характер осложнений у пациентов с декомпенсированным циррозом печени (ЦП). Материал и методы. В исследование были включены 47 пациентов с декомпенсированным ЦП (класс В по Child-Pugh у 27 человек и класс С - у 20). У всех пациентов проводили сбор анамнеза, ежедневное измерение артериального давления (АД) с подсчетом уровня среднего АД, анализы крови, электрокардиографическое исследование сердца, ультразвуковое исследование (УЗИ) органов брюшной полости, эзофагогастродуоденоскопию, эхокардиографию, рентгенологическое исследование органов грудной полости, водородный дыхательный тест с лактулозой, исследование кала с помощью иммуноферментного анализа для выявления C. difficile. Результаты. Инфекция С. difficile была выявлена у 26 (55,3%) из 47 пациентов с декомпенсированным ЦП. Среди больных с алкогольным ЦП среднее количество баллов по индексу Maddrey в группе пациентов, инфицированных C. difficile, достоверно превышало аналогичный показатель в группе неинфицированных пациентов. В течение последних 6 мес до момента включения в исследование 50% пациентов с инфекцией C. difficile были госпитализированы в стационар и значительно чаще получали антибактериальные препараты. Метронидазол назначали значительно чаще пациентам, инфицированным C. difficile (92,3% против 9,5%; р&lt;0,001), а ингибиторы протонной помпы получали 69,2% пациентов с инфекцией C. difficile и 85,7% неинфицированных пациентов (p=0,3). На основании результатов лабораторных исследований выявлена тенденция к увеличению уровня фибриногена и выраженности микрогематурии у пациентов с клостридиальной инфекцией. При УЗИ брюшной полости отмечены достоверные различия в величине краниокаудального размера левой доли печени между указанными группами больных (p=0,026). Выводы. Результаты исследования свидетельствуют о высокой частоте развития инфекции C. difficile у пациентов с декомпенсированным ЦП (55,3%), при этом она протекает преимущественно бессимптомно (у 95,7% пациентов). Причины такого течения заболевания недостаточно изучены. Клостридиальная инфекция увеличивает тяжесть состояния больных с поражением печени алкогольной этиологии, что подтверждается большим количеством баллов по индексу Maddrey. Инфекция C. difficile значительно чаще развивается у пациентов, которые в течение последних 6 мес получали антибактериальную терапию метронидазолом. Несмотря на то что метронидазол является одним из препаратов выбора при эрадикации C. difficile, полученные данные свидетельствуют в пользу наличия описанной в литературе связи терапии метронидазолом с возникновением клостридиальной инфекции.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Aim of investigation. To estimate the frequency of Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection and its effect on severity and pattern of complications at the compensated liver cirrhosis (LC). Material and methods. The original study included overall 47 patients with decompensated LC (Child-Pugh class B - 27 patients and class C - 20 patients). All patients underwent clinical interviewing with assessment of past history, daily blood pressure (BP) measurement with calculation of the mean blood pressure level, blood tests, ECG, abdominal ultrasound, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, echocardiography, chest X-ray, lactulose hydrogen breath test, Clostridium difficile ELISA stool test. Results. Clostridium difficile infection was found in 26 (55.3%) of 47 patients with decompensated LC. Of patients with alcoholic LC the mean Maddrey score in Clostridium difficile-infected subgroup was significantly higher than the score of non-infected patients. For the last 6 months prior to the study enrollment 50% of patients with Clostridium difficile infection were hospitalized and received antibiotics significantly more frequently. Metronidazole was prescribed more frequently to Clostridium difficile-infected patients (92.3% versus 9.5%; р&lt;0.001), 69.2% of infected patients received proton pump inhibitors vs 85.7% of non-infected patients (p=0.3). According to laboratory test results the trend to increase of fibrinogen level and microhematuria severity at clostridial infection was found. At abdominal ultrasound significant difference in craniocaudal dimension of the left liver lobe between the studied groups of patients (p=0.026) was found. Conclusions. Study results indicate high frequency of C. difficile infection at decompensated liver cirrhosis (55.3%), but it is symptomless in most of the cases (in 95.7% of patients). The causes for such course of disease is poorly understood. Clostridial infection increases severity of the patient state with the alcoholic liver disease as confirmed by higher Maddrey score. C. difficile infection develops much more frequently in patients who previously received metronidazole treatment for the last 6 months. In spite of the fact, that metronidazole is one of drugs of choice at C. difficile eradication, obtained results indicate the possible interrelation of metronidazole treatment to clostridial infection that was previously described in the literature.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>цирроз печени</kwd><kwd>клостридиальная инфекция</kwd><kwd>метронидазол</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Здравоохраниение: некоторые важные результаты и показатели 2015 г. http://government.ru/info/2269 8/#22698=23:1:Aih,23:16:x1o 19.04.2016.</mixed-citation><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Здравоохраниение: некоторые важные результаты и показатели 2015 г. http://government.ru/info/2269 8/#22698=23:1:Aih,23:16:x1o 19.04.2016.</mixed-citation></citation-alternatives></ref><ref id="cit2"><label>2</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Garcia-Tsao G.
