Overview
- The causes of acute diarrhea are based on .
- Common causes of acute diarrhea in children in both developing and developed nations are infections. Infectious gastroenterits is most commonly caused by Rota virus, Shigella, Enterotoxigenic E.coli ETEC , Campylobacter, Cryptosporidium parvum. Less commonly, acute diarrhea in children can be caused by Norwalk like viruses, can be associated with systemic infections including Influenza, UTI, Otitis media, HIV infection.
- Common causes of acute diarrhea in adults is also Infectious gastroenterits, commonly caused by Noro virus, Salmonella, Shigella, Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus aureus. Other common causes are food allergies, drug side effects. Less commonly acute diarrhea can be a symptom in the initial stages of systemic conditions including Ischemic colitis, Hyperthyroidism, Tropical sprue and with disorders of digestion and absorption process.
Causes
Causes of acute diarrhea based on infectious agents are enlisted below. Common causes of diarrhea differ based on geographical location, food hygiene standards, sanitation, water supply, and the season. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
Bacterial causes of diarrhea
- Shigella species ( S.dysentriae, S.flexneri, S.sonneii, S.boydii)
- Vibrio cholerae
- Non-typhoidal Salmonella: S.typhimurium, S.enterica
- Campylobacter jejuni
- Clostridium difficile: Antibiotic associated diarrhea (eg: Amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, Clindamycin, Cephalosporins)
- Yersinia enterocolitica
- Aeromonas
- Sepsis:
- Hemolytic uraemic syndrome (Shiga toxin producing E. coli ETEC)
- Shigella species
- Clostridium difficile
- Campylobacter jejuni
- Escherichia coli:
- Vibrio parahemolyticus
- Aeromonas
- Plesiomonas shigelloides
- Mycobacterium Avium complex
- Bacillus cereus
- Clostridium perfringens
- Listeria monocytogenes
Viral causes of diarrhea
- Rotavirus
- Norovirus
- Adenovirus
- Astrovirus
- Calcivirus

- CMV
- Astrovirus
- Norwalk virus
Protozoa:
Systemic infections
- Sepsis

- Intussusception
- Short bowel syndrome
- Radiation enteritis
- Chemotherapy induced enteritis
- Hyperthyroidism
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Tropical sprue
- Ischemic colitis
- VIPoma
- Infectious colitis
Disorders of digestive/absorptive processes:
- Glucose-galactose malabsorption
- Sucrase-isomaltase deficiency
- Late-onset (adult-type) hypolactasia, leads to lactose intolerance
Medicatons:
- Antibiotics, mostly with Cephalosporins
- Magnesium containing antacids
- Laxatives
- Antiretroviral agents
- Chemotherapeutic agents
- Antifungals
- Digoxin
- Lactulose
Ingestion of plants (eg, hyacinths, daffodils, Amanita species mushrooms)
Food allergies:
- Cow's milk protein allergy
- Soy protein allergy
Organophosphate poisoning
Opium withdrawal
