Overview

Tropical sprue must be differentiated from celiac disease, chronic diarrhea, Clonorchiasis, traveler's diarrhea, and whipworm.

  • Diarrhea, chronic unknown
  • Inflammatory bowel disease, new onset post-travel (Crohn or ulcerative colitis)
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Irritable bowel syndrome, post infectious
  • Lactose intolerance, post infectious
  • Malabsorption

Acute diarrhea

  • E. coli
  • Clostridium difficile-associated disease
  • Campylobacter
  • Cholera (toxigenic Vibrio cholerae)
  • Cryptosporidium
  • Cyclospora
  • Diarrhea, acute bacterial
  • Diarrhea, acute parasitic
  • Diarrhea, acute unspecified
  • Diarrhea, acute viral
  • Dysentery, acute unspecified
  • Entamoeba histolytica, ameba
  • E. histolytica, diarrhea
  • E. histolytica, dysentery
  • Food poisoning
  • Gastroenteritis
  • Giardia
