What is Clostridium Difficile Toxin A and B?

This test checks for the presence of toxins A and B produced by the Clostridium difficile bacteria in your stool sample. These toxins are responsible for causing symptoms like severe diarrhea and inflammation of the colon.

Why is this test important?

Detecting these toxins helps diagnose Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), a common cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea, especially after antibiotic use. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and preventing its spread.

How to Prepare

Collect a fresh stool sample as instructed by your healthcare provider.
