Negative PCR w/small sample?
Hello.
Had C Diff about a month or so ago…finished vancomycin 3 weeks ago and was doing fine until this morning. 2 very watery poops back to back. Also feel kind of nauseous and just weak overall. Went to the ER, and my C Diff PCR test was negative? The sample I gave was a really small liquid stool. I peed before collecting the stool sample but I had to strain a bit to get any poop to come out and I did pee a little bit again. Not sure if it got into my sample or not but I’m stressed and paranoid that my negative result isn’t accurate. Thoughts?
