ahinson ahinson Member Registered: 01/11/03 Posts: 571 Loc: Augusta, GA	Patient has evidence of gastroenteritis. She will start Levaquin, 500 mg, p.o., q. day. Her stool will be sent for a C diff. I know diff is differential but what about the C? Cell? Count? Has anyone ever heard a doc say this? Thanks Angie
