Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays a key role in the activation of the lectin-complement pathway of innate immunity, and its deficiency has been linked with several acute infections. However, its role in predisposing to, or modulating disease severity in, Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has not been investigated. METHODS: We prospectively recruited 308 CDI case patients and 145 control patients...
