The number of cases linked to an outbreak of C.difficile at Hotel Dieu Shaver Rehab Centre is up.
The St. Catharines facility has added 2 cases, bringing its total to 6.
But after a meeting with Niagara Public Health, Hotel Dieu doesn't think the additions are new cases.
Liz Pearson, Manager of Infection Prevention & Control at Hotel Dieu says patients likely had C.difficile at the start of the outbreak but didn't show symptoms right away...
