The recent Infectious Disease specialist I saw mentioned this to me since I now have CDIFF again following taking Keflex after my battle with it 5 years ago.

It is not actually a treatment FOR CDIFF but given to patients to reduce the chance of recurrences. That was my understanding.

It is ONE infusion via IV. There are risks. My ID might recommend it after I have finished the Dificid but after reading about it I am not sure.

NanciT,
I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you have a quick recovery and begin to feel better soon.
