Warnings & precautions in children
Children <1 year: Testing for C. difficile colonization or the toxin is not recommended in children <1 year due to common asymptomatic colonization, unless severe diarrhea in infants with risk factors for stasis, such as Hirschsprung's disease, operated on anal atresia or other serious bowel motility disorders. C. difficile enterocolitis must be demonstrated in this population, and always look for an alternative medical cause.
