Experiencing severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, nausea, or loss of appetite? These could be signs of a Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection, a bacteria that produces toxins A and B and can cause colitis—inflammation of the colon. In serious cases, C. diff can lead to dehydration or life-threatening complications. It’s often linked to antibiotic use, which disrupts healthy gut bacteria. A C. difficile stool test detects toxins A and B to confirm infection. Early diagnosis is essential for effective treatment and preventing complications. To avoid spreading C. diff, practice good hygiene—especially handwashing—and seek prompt medical care for symptom management and recovery.
