Diarrhea is a change in normal bowel movements characterized by increased frequency, water content or volume of stools.
Infectious diarrhea is diarrhea of infectious origin (bacterial, viral, protozoal, fungal) and is usually associated with symptoms of nausea and vomiting, abdominal cramps and fever.
Initial clinical evaluation of the patient with acute diarrhea should focus on assessment of the severity of the illness, the need for rehydration and the identification of likely causes on the basis of history and clinical findings and the presence of complications or comorbid conditions.
Maintenance of adequate intravascular volume and correction of fluid and electrolyte imbalance take precedence over identification of causative agent.
For further information regarding the management of Diarrhea in Adults - Infectious, please refer to Disease Algorithm for the Treatment Guideline.
