Trial Outcomes & Findings for Molecular Epidemiology of Clostridium Difficile Infections in Children (NCT NCT01957761)

NCT ID: NCT01957761

Last Updated: 2016-02-23

Results Overview

Stool samples taken from patients with Clostridium Difficile Infections infection at the time of diagnosis will be assessed by restriction endonuclease analysis to determine strain type. In order to study the relationship between strain type and outcome of their infection (e.g, treatment failure, recurrence, complication of illness), patients will be followed throughout their illness and for 8 weeks after developing their infection.
