Keep patients with Clostridium difficile infections in a private room whenever possible. Isolate the patient, often known as taking contact precautions.
Infection with Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) can cause diarrhoea with a peculiar odour that some people could describe as sickeningly sweet. Being older than 65, having recently been hospitalised, and having completed an antibiotic treatment are all high risk factors for CDI.
The majority of the time, CDI should be treated with an appropriate course of therapy (roughly 10 days), which may include oral vancomycin or fidaxomicin. Although in 20% of patients, CDI will resolve within two to three days of stopping the antibiotic to which the patient had previously been exposed, this is not always the case.
Rarely, a mild to moderate C. difficile infection, but more frequently a major infection, can swiftly worsen into a deadly illness if not treated right once.
