My son was diagnosed with cdiff toxin a and b gdh antigen detected what does this mean? ive been reading and it looks like it could be fatal im so scared?

C.Diff: It can be positive in case of antibiotic associated diarrhea. Try to keep him hydrated. If it happened while being on antibiotics then your doctor will stop those antibiotics and likely treat with a different antibiotic. It must be treated so follow up closely with the ordering physician. Take care.
