Zinc Deficiency and the Recurrence of Clostridium difficile Infection after Fecal Microbiota Transplant: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Figure 1
Recurrence of CDI after FMT: normal vs. low zinc. When analyzed without controlling for risk factors for FMT failure, low zinc was not associated with increased Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) recurrence, with 6% (3/49) of normal zinc and 16% (5/31) of low zinc subjects experiencing recurrence within 90 days after FMT (, Wilcoxon).
