AB Acute  diarrheal  disease,  which  is  associated  with  ∼1.7  million  deaths  per  year,  is  the  second  most  common  infectious  cause  of  death  worldwide  among  children  <5  years  old  (after  lower  respiratory  tract  infection).  The  wide  range  of  clinical  manifestations  is  matched  by  the  wide  variety  of  infectious  agents  involved  (Table  85-1).  An  approach  to  pts  with  infectious  diarrhea  is  presented  in  Fig.  85-1.
