3. introduction
Diarrhea is a condition in which there is : - Unusual frequency of bowel movements (more than 3 times a day) - Changes in the amount ( more than 200g a day). Change in consistency( liquid stool). It is a common cause of death in developing countries and the second most common cause of infant deaths worldwide. WHO defines : Having 3 or more loose or liquid stools per day, or as having 3 or more loose stool.

4. Three types of diarrhea
Acute diarrhea is an attack of loose motion with sudden onset which usually lasts 3 to 7days . The most important causes of acute watery diarrhoea in young children. rotavirus, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni Chronic diarrhea is termed when the loose motion is occurring for 3 weeks or more Dysentery . The term dysentery refers to diarrhoea with visible blood mucus in the faeces. The most important cause of acute dysentery is Shigella. Campylobacter jejuni. Entamoeba histolytica

5. EPIDEMIOLOGY
Approximately 111 million episodes of gastroenteritis in Children, which result in 25 million visits to clinics, 2 Million hospitalizations, and 352,000 to 592,000 deaths. About 1/3 of total hospitalized children are due to Diarrheal diseases and 17%of all deaths in indoor Pediatric patients are related to this condition.

6. AGENT FACTORS
Diarrhea is mostly infectious. A large numbers of organism are responsible for acute diarrhea Viruses: Rota virus, adenovirus,enterovirus,Norwalk Bacteria: Campylobacter E.coli,Shigella,Salmonella,cholera vibrio parahemolyticus Parasites. G.lambia, Cryptosporidium,H.nana (Hymenolepis nana) malaria e Fungi: Candida albicans

7. MODE OF TRANSMISSION It is mainly feco-oral route
MODE OF TRANSMISSION It is mainly feco-oral route.It is water- borne,foodborne disease or may transmit via fingers,fomites,flies or dirt. The disease is most common specially between 6months to 2 years.The incidence is higher during weaning period It occurs due to combined effects of reduced maternal antibodies, lack of active immunity and introduction of contaminated food or direct spread through child’s hands.

8. pathogenesis by which Escherichia coli Campylobacter and Yersinia and their management
E. coli is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine . E. coli strains are harmless, but some serotypes are pathogenic and can cause serious food poisoning
fecal–oral transmission is the major route through which pathogenic strains of the bacterium cause disease.
which makes them ideal indicator organisms to test environmental samples for fecal contamination

9. Pathogenesis of E coli
Escherichia coli are normal inhabitants of the human gastrointestinal tract and are among the bacterial species most frequently isolated from stool cultures. When E. coli strains acquire certain additional genetic material, they can become pathogenic; Diarrheagenic E. coli are among the most frequent bacterial causes of gastroenteritis worldwide Enterotoxigenic . E coli (ETEC) type of Escherichia coli and one of the leading bacterial causes of diarrhea in the developing world, as well as the most common cause of travelers' diarrhea. Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) causative agent of diarrhea in humans, rabbits, dogs, cats and horses

10. Con. Enteroinvasive . E. coli (EIEC)
type of pathogenic bacteria whose infection causes a syndrome that is identical to shigellosis
Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC)
The most infamous member of this pathotype is strain O157:H7, which causes bloody diarrhea and no fever. EHEC can cause(HUS) hemolytic-uremic syndrome and sudden kidney failure. It uses bacterial fimbriae for attachment (UTI )

12. Campylobacter (meaning "curved bacteria") is a genus of
Gram-negative bacteria. Campylobacter typically appear comma or s-shaped and motile. Most Campylobacter species can cause disease and can infect humans and other animals.
Campylobacter enteritis is a common cause of intestinal infection. These bacteria are also one of the many causes of traveler's diarrhea or food poisoning. People most often get infected by eating or drinking food or water that contains the bacteria .

13. Pathogenesis Produces a toxin called Cytolethal
Distending Toxin (CDT).
There is evidence that C. jejuni infections
commonly precede Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS)
which results from a case of molecular mimicry
whereby host produced anti-Campylobacter antibodies
recognize and cross react with self gangliosides and damage peripheral nerve tissue

14. What Are the Symptoms
The onset of disease symptoms usually occurs 2 to 5 days after infection with the bacteria, but can range from 1 to 10 days. The most common clinical symptoms of Campylobacter infections include diarrhoea (frequently bloody), abdominal pain, fever, headache, nausea, and/or vomiting. The symptoms typically last 3 to 6 days. Complications such as bacteraemia (presence of bacteria in the blood), hepatitis, pancreatitis (infections of liver and pancreas, respectively),

16. Yersinia
is a Gram-negative bacillus-shaped bacterium, belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is Motile at temperatures of 22–29°C, but becomes non motile at normal human body temperature The portal of entry is the gastrointestinal tract. usually lead to mild self-limiting enterocolitis or terminal ileitis and adenitis in humans. Symptoms may include watery or bloody diarrhea and fever, Yersiniosis is usually self-limiting and does not require treatment. For sepsis or severe focal infections, especially if associated with immunosuppression, the recommended regimen includes doxycycline in combination with an aminoglycoside.

17. Viral Causes
Viral infection is probably the most common cause of infectious diarrhoea
Rotavirus is a common cause of diarrhoea in infants and young children. 10 trillion particle per ml don't destroy by acid or digestive enzymes .The virus infects only the mature villus epithelial cells at the apices of small intestinal villi.
Management should focus on rehydration status.
Fecal testing is not routinely indicated. .

18. Con.
Large amounts of rotavirus are shed in the stool of infected people and the virus can be easily spread via contaminated hands and objects, such as toys. Children can spread rotavirus both before and after they become sick with diarrhea. Norovirus is frequently implicated in outbreak situations.

19. Clostridium difficile toxin
C. difficile is the major identifiable cause of antibiotic- associated diarrhoea.
The prevalence of asymptomatic colonisation of the bowel ranges from <5% in the community to over 20% in hospitalised patients. It is more prevalnt in the elderly.
C. difficile toxin testing is indicated for patients who develop diarrhoea while in hospital, on antibiotics or receiving chemotherapy.

20. Prevention
Safe consumption of food and water Travelers should eat only in restaurants with a reputation for safety and should not consume any food or beverages from street vendors. Cooked foods that are still hot when served are generally safe. Salads containing uncooked vegetables or fruit and food left on the table in open containers should be avoided. Even ice cubes should be made with water that has been boiled.

21. Prevention
Preventive antibiotics are recommended only for people who are particularly susceptible to the consequences of traveler’s diarrhea, such as those whose immune system is impaired. The antibiotics most commonly recommended are ciprofloxacin and azithromycin.

22. Treatment Fluids Antidiarrheal drugs
Sometimes antibiotics or antiparasitic drugs
When symptoms occur, treatment includes drinking plenty of fluids and taking drugs that stop diarrhea such as loperamide. These drugs cannot be given to people who have a fever or bloody stools or to children under 2 years of age.
