Description

This laboratory test is intended for the qualitative determination of Clostridium difficile toxins A and B in a stool sample. The test is used to confirm a clinically significant infection that can occur after antibiotic therapy and lead to diarrhea or pseudomembranous colitis.

Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that can be asymptomatic in the intestine, but sometimes causes antibiotic-associated diarrhea and severe inflammation of the colon (pseudomembranous colitis).

During or after treatment with antibiotics, the normal balance of intestinal microflora may be disturbed. This creates conditions for the active reproduction of C. difficile and the production of toxins.

Most dangerous strains of the bacterium C. difficile produce toxins A and B. They damage the intestinal mucosa and cause inflammation. The main manifestations of the infection are frequent liquid stools, abdominal pain, fever. In severe cases, significant damage to the large intestine and its dangerous expansion are possible.

The analysis determines the presence of toxins A and B in feces. The result is qualitative: toxins are detected or not detected. This test is used to confirm the diagnosis, but it is not used to monitor recovery after symptoms disappear.

When and who needs the test?

  • In case of acute diarrhea after taking antibiotics (especially broad-spectrum antibiotics).
  • In the presence of symptoms of colitis (abdominal pain, fever, blood or mucus in the stool).
  • In the case of hospitalization of a patient with diarrhea of ​​unknown etiology, especially in hospital conditions.
  • Before starting or during the treatment of C. difficile to confirm the diagnosis.
  • For patients after antibiotic therapy, especially the elderly or those with chronic diseases.
  • Hospitalized patients with prolonged or severe diarrhea.
  • Persons with suspected nosocomial intestinal infection.
  • Patients with recurrent diarrhea after a previous clostridial infection.

Studies are usually not ordered in the absence of symptoms or if the diarrhea is associated with recent intake of laxatives.
