What Is Diarrhea?
Stools of decreased consistency and increased volume due to imbalance of secretion and absorption of water and salts in the intestine

Types of Diarrhea in Developing Countries
Noninfectious (infrequent), e.g., congenital, inflammatory boweldiseaseInfectious (predominant), e.g., bacterial, viral, parasitic

Pathophysiology of Infectious Diarrhea
Secretory (noninflammatory), i.e., toxin stimulates chloride secretion and reduces absorption of sodium and water (e.g., V. cholerae or organism reduces small bowel absorptive villus structure and function (e.g., rotavirus)Invasive (inflammatory), i.e., organism penetrates and damages cells of intestinal mucosa (e.g., shigella)
