What is C. difficile?
Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a bacterium that can cause infection in the colon. It is commonly found in hospitals and long-term care facilities. The bacteria can spread through spores that are resistant to many disinfectants, making it difficult to eradicate.
Symptoms of C. difficile infection
C. difficile infection can cause symptoms such as:
- Persistent diarrhea
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Fever
- Blood or pus in the stool
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
It is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing these symptoms, especially if you have recently taken antibiotics.
How is C. difficile infection diagnosed?
The C. Difficile Toxin A & B and GDH Stool Test is used to diagnose C. difficile infection. The test looks for the presence of toxins A and B, as well as the presence of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), which is an enzyme that is produced by the bacteria.
If the test is positive for toxins A and B and GDH, it is likely that you have a C. difficile infection. Additional testing may be done to confirm the diagnosis.
Test cost
The C. Difficile Toxin A & B and GDH Stool Test is available at DNA Labs India for a cost of INR 4000.
