Clinical Correlation of a Clostridium difficile Testing Algorithm Reflexing PCR Positive Specimens to Toxin Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)
BACKGROUND: An algorithm promoted in the United Kingdom reflexes specimens positive for C. difficile by a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) to toxin EIA. Samples positive by NAAT and negative by toxin EIA are reported as “C. difficile could be present (ie, potential C. difficile excretor).” We...
