This is one of my recent pet issues; I've seen 3 patients with SEVERE c.diff, 2 hospitalized for it, one ended up in the ICU with dehydration, acute renal failure, and got it because she'd taken some antibiotics on her own (you know, they were lying around the house) for respiratory symptoms. I have one patient who seems to be permanently colonized--she's still on po vancomycin 8 months after the initial infection.<BR/><BR/>I find keeping these vignettes in my mind helps me maintain my resolve not to give antibiotics for minor URIs.janemariemdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456131748909653894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176359.post-7457817155268135652008-03-06T02:23:00.000-07:002008-03-06T02:23:00.000-07:00So sorry your mom got this.
