Three die in C.diff bug outbreak at English hospital

Three patients have died since January at Eastbourne District General Hospital in England after being infected with the C.diff superbug; officials say the superbug has contributed to another 10 deaths. Seventeen additional patients are now being treated for the infection. Hospital officials blame the incidents on a higher than average number of admissions over the winter months for "flu-like symptoms and chest infections," making patients more vulnerable to contracting the superbug.
