    • What happens if C difficile treatment fails?

      Failure is defined as no improvement or worsening symptoms after 48-96 hours of primary therapy. In failing patients, look for alternative explanations/diagnoses, continue C. difficile treatment doses until resolution, and consider infectious diseases and surgery consultation. Randomized trials have all utilized 10-day durations of therapy.

    • What is the risk of recurrence after a first relapse?

      After a first recurrence, the risk of another infection increases to 45-60%.
