Diagnosis and management of acute diarrhoea in adults.
Acute diarrhoea is a frequent, worldwide complaint. On any given day, 200 million people suffering from gastroenteritis will pass a volume of diarrhoeal water comparable with the flow of water over the Victoria Falls in one minute. In most attacks, routine microbiological techniques will fail to demonstrate the cause.
