Intestinal Microbiota Transplantation for Recurrent Clostridium Difficile Infection

摘要

In randomized clinical trials which compare test- and- treat strategy with early endoscopy(16) or with proton- pump- inhibitor therapy (17), the three strategies have similar degree of symptom relief, but early endoscopy was more expensive than the other two strategies (18). It seems that the test- and- treat strategy is not cost-effective in populations with low prevalence of H. pylori infection (less than 20%) (19) (Table 1).
