Clostridioides difficile Infection (CDI) is a form of antibiotic associated infectious diarrhoea resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Community acquired disease in low risk individuals is increasingly recognised. There are limited New Zealand data published. To determine the incidence and location of onset of CDI cases in the Manawatu region, and further describe the demographics, risk factors and prevalent C. difficile ribotypes of the population. We performed an incidence case-control study of CDI in the Manawatu region between September 2018 and September 2019. Cases were matched to controls with a negative test for C. difficile. Demographic and comorbidity data, location of onset, drug exposure, disease recurrence and 30-day mortality were collected. Ribotype analysis was performed on C. difficile isolates. 32 specimens tested toxin positive over twelve months, yielding an incidence of 18.3 cases per 100,000 person-years. 25% of cases had community onset disease. Cases were more likelon of temporal changes in incidence and infection patterns of CDI in New Zealand. This article is protected by copyright.

Treatment of VV are challenging as destructive modalities have variable efficacy and recurrence rates. Various immunotherapies attempt to stimulate the cell-mediated host immune response against HPV. We have assessed efficacy of intralesional tuberculin in patients with verruca vulgaris and to see the long term follow-up at 12 months. Forty patients were enrolled in the study. All patients received intralesional tuberculin injections (5 Tuberculin U/mL) in a dose of 0.1 mL/lesion every fortnightly. Patients were followed up for 12 months dura
