摘要：
This is a report of six cases of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) that occurred among cancer patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation in a tertiary-care cancer hospital. Specific infection control measures that were taken to minimize the nosocomial spread of CDAD also are discussed.
