Hello, THX to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that it is caused by Clostridium difficile most of the infections are hospital-acquired, and mostly it is faeco-oral like the patients or staffs hands from a contaminated commode or equipment. Most of the cases occur in the elderly. Patients. Most common symptom for it is the diarrhea. In some advance cases it is a formation of membranous colitis. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Than. Chat Doctor
