Abstract
Concomitant antibiotic use during treatment for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) increases the risk of recurrence.

Concomitant antibiotic use was more common among patients with malignancies, and solid organ or bone marrow transplant. Unnecessary concomitant antibiotic use in CDI patients is a potential target for pediatric antimicrobial stewardship.
