Gastroenteritis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Acute Gastroenteritis: Development of PCR Analysis and Algorithm/Criteria for Fast Clarification of Isolation Indication
Isolation of contagious patients is expensive, requires more caregiver time, most of the
patients perceive isolation as a mental strain and it has been shown that the level of care
and observation is lower than in a normal ward. But isolation of contagious patients is
necessary to protect other patients, hospital staff and relatives to prevent spreading of
infection and, in worst case out-break.
There are different isolation regimes available depending on causative agent and mode of
transmission. A community-acquired acute gastroenteritis (GE) is most often caused by
Norovirus while a hospital-acquired acute GE is often caused by toxin producing Clostridium
difficile. Patients infected with Norovirus or Clostridium difficile have to be isolated in
single rooms with strict contact precautions. Patients infected with acute GE caused by
other pathogens can be isolated in a multi-bed room if there is a private toilet.
However, at the time of arrival to hospital it is not known if the patient is contagious.
The indication of isolation has to be made based of a clinical evaluation in risk of
isolating to few or too many patients.
Aim of the study:
To identify anamnestic, clinical and paraclinical variables that can be used as indicators
of the aetiology of infectious GE, thus giving an indication for isolation.
To clinically evaluate a combined RNA (Norovirus) and DNA (Clostridium difficile) fast PCR
analysis test to identify infectious GE compared to gold standard methods.
