How is C. difficile treated?
Treatment depends on how sick you are. People with mild symptoms may not need treatment. For more severe disease, antibiotics are required. What precautions are used to prevent the spread of C. difficile in the hospital? If you are in the hospital and have C.difficile diarrhea, you will be put on precautions until you are free from diarrhea for at least two days. Your activities outside the room may be restricted. All health care staff that enters your room will wear a gown and gloves. Everyone MUST clean their hands when leaving your room. Visit UHN health information for more information about C. difficile.
