Clostridium difficile is the major cause of nosocomial diarrhea and the primary pathogen responsible for pseudomembranous colitis. In the United States, there are >300000 cases per year of Clinical Microbiology Procedures Handbook, Fourth Edition. ASM Press, Washington, DC. doi: 10.1128/9781555818814.ch4.15.
Although laboratory practice guidelines discourage repeat C. difficile testing and testing of formed stools regardless of the assay type (9–12), it is unclear how well these guidelines have been adopted . American Society for Microbiology, Washington, DC. www.asm.org/images/pdf/Clinical/clostridiumdifficile9-21.pdf.
6 Feb 2014 The ASM noted that utilizing toxin A/B EIA for C. difficile diagnosis is insensitive and no longer recommended as a stand-alone test. The ASM also noted that laboratories can also use a PCR to detect C. difficile toxin genes as a stand-alone diagnostic test. The SHEA/IDSA guidelines suggested that an initial
20 Mar 2017 Clostridium difficile is an increasingly important problem being faced by clinical microbiologists. ASM recently invited Alice Guh, MD, MPH, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to present the most recent C. difficile research as part of the Hot Topics in Clinical Microbiology series*.
12 Mar 2018 An update of the guideline on the prevention of Clostridium difficile infection in acute health care settings was published on 02 March 2018 in Clinical Microbiology and Infection. This guideline was coordinated by the ESCMID Study Group for Clostridium difficile (ESGCD). Guideline development history:.
12 Jan 2011 ASM and PASCV have prepared a joint guidance document to update and assist clinical laboratory personnel in testing for Zika virus, based on patient The PSAB Committee on Laboratory Practices prepared A Practical Guidance Document for the Laboratory Detection of Toxigenic Clostridium difficile to
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is defined as the presence of clinical findings (diarrhea, pseudomembranous colitis), in concert with a positive laboratory finding According to the guidelines,1,4,5 it was imperative to replace the C. diff toxin enzyme immunoassay with one of the three alternatives proposed by the ASM:
