| C. Diff Risk Factors | Antibiotic exposure Gastrointestinal surgery/manipulation Long length of stay in healthcare settings Serious underlying illness Immunocompromising conditions Advanced age |
| C. Diff Clinical Manifestations | May be colonized with no symptoms If C. Diff associated disease: Watery diarrhea Fever Loss of appetite Nausea Abdominal pain/tenderness |
| C. Diff Diagnosis / transmission | C. Diff Diagnosis C. Diff stool toxin. Stool culture – most sensitive C. Diff Transmission Any surface, device, or material contaminated with feces |
| C. Diff Treatment | Discontinue antibiotic to which previously exposed Antibiotics (about 10 days) – metronidazole or vancomycin orally Repeat testing not recommended if symptoms resolve – may remain colonized |
| C. Diff Precautions in Healthcare | Judicious abx Contact precautions for suspected disease: pvt room soap and water hand hygiene - alcohol rubs not as effective. clean gloves for pt care gowns if soiling is likely dedicate equipment when possible CONTINUE UNTIL DIARRHEA CEASES |
