The predictive value of quantitative nucleic acid amplification detection of <i>Clostridium difficile</i> toxin gene for faecal sample toxin status and patient outcome

2018-10-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Laboratory diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) remains unsettled, despite updated guidelines. We investigated the potential utility of quantitative data from a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for C. difficile toxin gene (tg) for patient management. <h4>Methods</h4> Using data from the largest ever C. difficile diagnostic study (8853 diarrhoeal samples from 7335 patie...
