CDIFF - An International Prospective Observational Study to Assess the Characteristics and Outcomes of Post-transplant Patients Treated for C. Difficile Infections
What is this study about?
Clostridium difficile is bacteria that can cause infection of the colon, and produce a substance that causes belly pain and diarrhoea.
This study is being done to better understand CDIFF infections after a transplant. It will look at the outcome of treatment for CDIFF infections. We are interested in how long infections last, if they occur more than once, what treatments are given and how well they work.
