C. Diff Infection Treated With Home Fecal Transplantation
Home fecal transplantation by rectal enema is a viable, safe and practical option for patients with recurrent CDI. It is less costly and uses fewer resources than traditional delivery methods through nasojejunal tube, upper endoscopy or colonoscopy. Patients and their families and donors need medical supervision throughout the process of screening, telephone availability during the procedure and medical follow-up.
