Fecal transplantation for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection in older adults: a review.

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society - 1 Aug 2013

Burke Kristin E, Lamont John T

Abstract excerpt

Recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a common nosocomial infection that has a large effect on morbidity and quality of life in older adults in hospitals and long-term care facilities. Because antibiotics are often unsuccessful in curing this disease, fecal transplantation has emerged as a second-line therapy for treatment of recurrent CDI. A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Embase, and Web...
