Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the nature of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). CDI primarily affects the colon and is known for causing symptoms related to the gastrointestinal tract.
Step 2: Review common signs and symptoms of CDI, which typically include fever, watery diarrhea, and abdominal pain due to inflammation of the colon.
Step 3: Recognize that jaundice is a condition characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes, usually related to liver dysfunction or bile duct obstruction, and is not associated with CDI.
Step 4: Compare each symptom listed in the problem with the typical clinical presentation of CDI to identify which one does not fit.
Step 5: Conclude that jaundice is NOT a sign or symptom of Clostridium difficile infection, while fever, watery diarrhea, and abdominal pain are common symptoms.
