[|Human|] My Mom has had the c diff virus that almost took her life from getting surgery at a hospital. It has put her in a nursery home and taken a year for her to be able to walk a little bit. anyway now her 89 yr. old roommate has it and they are saying my mom is in no danger of getting it even though they share the same room. How contagious is this virus and what about us going in to visit her ?
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Clostridium diff bacteria can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms with diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, nausea. It is transmitted in the feces and would be transmitted via hands that have touched a contaminated object (such as toilet, commode, anal thermometer, bath tub)If proper handwashing techniques are observed then the risk of transmission would be reduced. I hope this helps
