Which of the following statements describe the usual approach to the diagnosis of CDI? More than one answer is correct. Please select all correct answers Diagnosis usually begins with examination of symptoms and review of risk factors. CDI is suspected when a patient has unexplained, acute diarrhea (>3 loose stools in 24 hours) especially with risk factors. Diagnosis is usually made when there is a positive laboratory test result for the toxins A or B (EIA testing) or the toxin B or A gene (NAAT assay). Repeat lab testing is usually necessary within 7 days of the same episode of diarrhea.
