Clostridium Difficile Role Of Family Physicians, Nurses, Dietitian And Clinical Laboratory In The Management
Main Article Content
Abstract
Diagnosing a C. difficile infection (CDI), treating patients, and managing recurrences is a complex process that lacks a complete and thorough understanding of the necessary measures to enhance patient care. This research aims to highlight the lack of diverse viewpoints in considering the issues faced in optimizing care delivery. It specifically focuses on the role of family physicians, nurses, dietitians, and clinical laboratories in managing clinical practice and healthcare system-related challenges. The incidence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is increasing, leading to higher healthcare expenses for patients as a result of prolonged hospital stays, diagnostic procedures, and medication usage. The reporting of CDI management in primary care worldwide is inadequate. General practitioners offer appropriate outpatient treatment for mild initial cases of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) with oral metronidazole. If a person continues to experience diarrhea even after receiving the correct treatment for Clostridiodes, it should be seen as an early indication that a recurrence may occur.
