OverviewDiarrhoea is a leading cause of illness and death in developing countries. Many of these children die from dehydration; dysentery and malnutrition are also important causes of death. Diarrhoeal disease also represents an economic burden for these countries, as children with diarrhoea are admitted to hospital and treated with expensive intravenous fluids and ineffective drugs. This book describes the preventative measures that can substantially reduce the incidence and severity of episodes and provides essential information on epidemiology and aetiology of diarrhoea and the treatment of patients with dehydration, malnutrition or serious infections.
