Clostridioides difficile infection is very common in immunocompromised children. Management is confounded by frequent asymptomatic colonization, multiple alternative etiologies for gastrointestinal symptoms, and high rates of relapse. Important considerations include indications for testing, appropriate choice of diagnostic tests, antibiotic therapy for initial and subsequent episodes, and primary and secondary prevention.
