Abstract
- The objective of the present study was to evaluate the value of the PCR cycle threshold (CT) for predicting the recurrence/severity of infection compared to that of toxin detection plus clinical variables. First episodes of Clostridium difficileinfection (CDI) diagnosed during 2015 at our institution were included.
