1094. Performance of Toxin Enzyme Immunoassays and PCR Cycle Threshold for Differentiating Clostridium difficile Infection From Colonization in Children With Diarrhea

BACKGROUND: Clostridium difficile colonization is common in children. PCR does not distinguish infection (CDI) from colonization. Toxin enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and PCR cycle threshold (Ct) may predict CDI in PCR+ adults, but assay performance in children is poorly understood. METHODS: Stools from c...
