Enzyme Immunoassay for C. difficile Toxin Reduces Lab ID Events but Fails to Detect Clinically Significant C. difficile Infection
BACKGROUND: The National Health Safety Network (NHSN) requires reporting of Lab ID events for C. difficile infection (CDI) including all positive clinical tests after day three of hospitalization. Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) that detect genes for toxins A and/or B may be overly sensitive...
