C. difficile Infection in the Older Adult

C. difficile is a public health threat that is often under recognized and under diagnosed in patients around the world. In older adults aged 65+ years, C. difficile infections take the lives of 1 in 11 patients within a month of diagnosis. Commonly thought of as a disease associated with hospital settings, community-associated C. difficile infections are on the rise. It is important to understand the prevalence and persistence of C. difficile and how C. difficile disproportionately affects adult patients. During this virtual symposium, a panel of experts will discuss the risks and clinical considerations regarding the management of C. difficile, as well as answer your questions about this disease.

This is an industry-supported symposium held in conjunction with the GSA 2021 Annual Scientific Meeting. Sponsored by Pfizer.
