Hi Polly,
I was wondering if you saw my post a week or so ago about the latest reason I've got D? I was diagnosed with staph. The lab report completely confused the nurse practictioner I see, but when she talked to the pathologist he said they now break the C-Diff test into two components...the short spectrum that includes the C-Diff bug, and a broader spectrum that includes a basic staph bug. I'm doing 10 days of vancomycin now. Seems to be improving slightly, but I'm only on day 4 or 5 of 10.
Have you run across this before in your readings? training? I just wonder how long I might have been harboring this bug. And if there is anything else I should be on the look out for.
Hope you are well,
Katy

Hiya Katy,
I didn't see the post but this is very interesting. No, I have not heard about this. Was your staph a MRSA staph? Did the D follow a course of antibiotics?
I'll try to see if I can find out more.....
Good to hear from you,
Polly
