Human Probiotic Infusion
Description
Quite simply, HPI [Human Probiotic Infusion] involves infusing a patient with someone else's faeces. It's a confronting treatment, but one which patients suffering from the tummy superbug, Clostridium difficile, are prepared to undertake in order to get their lives back to normal. Maryanne Demasi follows one patient through the treatment process which has a remarkably high success rate.
