Guidance on Reporting of Equivocal Results for Clostridium difficile
Publication Date: 19 November 2010
Following the publication of the 'Recommended protocol for testing for Clostridium difficile and subsequent culture' in December 2009, it was anticipated that there may be an impact on the reported number of episodes of C. difficile infection.
To help assess the impact of the testing guidance and to ensure a consistent approach, we produced this guidance for laboratories when confirming the final dataset during the validation phase of the surveillance programme.
