About
Hypothesis: the antibody directed against certain antigens of Clostridium difficile would be predict the Clostridium difficile infection.
This study evaluates the weight of immunity by studying patients with Clostridium difficile infection versus controls (each patient is associated with two controls : diarrheal control without Clostridium difficile, and non-diarrheal control with or without Clostridium difficile). Recurrence and the kinetics of immune response following infection Clostridium difficile are studied by following the patients during three months.
There are also building biological samples collections clinically documented: sera, stool and strains.

Exclusion criteria of the cases :
Secondarily be excluded the following cases:
NON-DIARRHEAL CONTROL : Eligible patients are those who do not have diarrhea at the time of recruitment.
To ensure that exposure to risks similar for cases and controls (hospitalization, usually care epidemic period, ...) will be recruited eligible patients according to the following criteria:
The inclusion of these controls depends on the one hand signing an informed consent for participation in the study and secondly the lack clinical signs suggestive of Clostridium Difficile Infection at the time of inclusion and known history of Clostridium Difficile Infection in their medical records (one no-diarrheal control hospitalized (ND) for one case).
