Ultrasound Diagnosis of Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea
An observational study of Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea, run by Shaare Zedek Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

The hypothesis is that there are unique sonographic characteristics of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. We will compare the ultrasound findings in patients who received antibiotics and developed diarrhea to toxin analysis for clostridium difficile in stool in order to find differences in the sonographic findings in the… Read more about this study
