Methods: We analysed 970 stool samples. Discrepant results between GDH and toxin A/B were resolved using toxigenic culture as the reference. Results: This test enabled us to obtain a conclusive result in <30 min in 93.8% of the samples. Among the discrepant results (GDH (+)/Toxin A/B (-)), 41.7% (25/60) were found to be toxigenic C dfficile by toxigenic culture. Conclusion: This test has a high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of CDI.Tipo de ítem | Ubicación actual | Signatura | Estado | Fecha de vencimiento |
