CHOP Stool Bank
This study is now recruiting.
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is inviting healthy individuals ages 0-21 to become part of a unique opportunity to help other kids heal: the CHOP Pediatric Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) Stool Bank. This unique program is the first of its kind in the United States and offers screened stool donations from healthy children that may be used to provide life-changing treatment for children suffering from serious gut infections like recurrent C. difficile - an illness that can cause significant symptoms and complications. Contributing to this program could make a direct difference in providing safe and effective treatment options for serious gut infections in children.
