This is a very lengthy document, don't be put off by it. If you need to know what your hospital/doctor should be doing to manage/treat c.diff then you will find it in here and can use it to quote to them if you need to.

Please post for help in finding what you need, we know what it's like when you need info fast.

This is a shortcut to very clear Guidelines on the Treatments for C.difficile infection

If anyone obtained a hard copy of the document 'Clostridium difficile infection: How to deal with the problem' (first link in the post above) an amendment has been issued due to errors in the treatment guides on pages 34 and 59.
It should read 'Oral vancomycin 125mg qds for 14 days'.

The electronic copy has been amended.
