Thrombin generation is increased in patients with Clostridium difficile colitis - a pilot study.

CONCLUSIONS: The higher values of thrombin generation suggest that Clostridium difficile colitis increases the thromboembolic risk. The pattern of thrombin generation could identify patients with particularly higher thromboembolic risk. They are potential candidates for thromboprophylaxis strategies and monitorization.
