Abstract

Acute diarrhea of bacterial origin is discussed for seven enteric pathogens, and specific antimicrobial therapy based on positive identification is stressed. Selection of patients with self-limited disease not requiring antimicrobial therapy is emphasized in order to avoid costly laboratory tests. The role of daycare facilities in the spread of enteric pathogens in this country is discussed. This article includes a review of newer methods for treating infants and children with oral rehydration and rapid refeeding.
