Purposes: Despite reports of a declining incidence over the last decade, Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is still considered the most important healthcare-associated causes of diarrhea worldwide. In Germany, several measures have been taken to observe, report, and influence this development. This report aims to analyze the development of hospital coding for CDI in Germany over the last decade and to use it to estimate the public health burden caused by CDI.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of government-funded pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) on sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among people living with HIV, specifically in men who have sex with men, after PrEP became covered by German health insurance in September 2019.
- Researchers enrolled 143 patients diagnosed with STIs over two groups: one year before and one year after PrEP coverage, noting an increase in STIs, particularly syphilis and chlamydia, in the latter group.
- The findings suggest a trend of rising STI rates among people living with HIV following the introduction of PrEP coverage, highlighting the need for increased discussions about STI risks between these overlapping communities.
