In 54/64 subjects with nosocomial diarrhea, fecal calprotectin levels correlated with the results of stool samples tested for Clostridium difficile toxin gene by PCR. Fecal calprotectin levels can be used as an adjunctive measure to PCR to support the diagnosis of C. difficile infection.
在64例医院获得性腹泻患者中,54例患者的粪便钙卫蛋白水平与通过PCR检测艰难梭菌毒素基因的粪便样本结果相关。粪便钙卫蛋白水平可作为PCR的辅助检测手段,以支持艰难梭菌感染的诊断。
