3 Clinical features are not helpful for predicting the etiology of diarrhoea Duration of diarrhoea Abdominal pain Vomiting Blood stools Number of bowel movements Fever Requirement for IV hydration This emphasizes the need for more rapid, sensitive, and simple methods to improve the diagnostic yield Chan et al.

19 Most positives from community patients 28 / 36 (78%) (prospective) 88 / 116 (76%) (retrospective) 33 samples from hospitalised patients: all except one sample sent within D3 of admission One sample had Campylobacter and was submitted on D4

20 Despite advising clinicians of the limited usefulness ~25% of requests for stool culture are from patients with onset of diarrhoea within 3 days of admission

21 Testing strategy at GSTT: Continue current testing methods for Norovirus (in house PCR) and C. difficile (GDH plus Toxin EIA/PCR) Adopt BD Max Bacterial Stool Panel, culture positive Salmonella, Shigella and E. coli O:157 for AST and typing. Campylobacter positives will not be routinely cultured (recommend treatment with macrolide) Demand management savings of ~25% partially offsets the additional cost of PCR Culture: x 8300 = 159,194 BD Max with demand management: 30 x 6800 = 204,000
