The association between histamine 2 receptor antagonist use and Clostridium difficile infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

<h4>Background</h4>Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a major health problem. Epidemiological evidence suggests that there is an association between acid suppression therapy and development of CDI.<h4>Purpose</h4>We sought to systematically review the literature that ex...
