MSFinals-0519

You are requested to assess a 76-year-old female patient who has been admitted with severe diarrhea. She had recently undergone a course of ciprofloxacin for a urinary tract infection and reports that the diarrhea started a few days after starting the antibiotics. Upon examination, she appears severely dehydrated and has a BP of 130/80 mmHg, with a 30 mmHg postural drop and an elevated pulse rate. You suspect that she may be suffering from Clostridium difficile infection. What measures can be taken to reduce its spread?
