Abstract
In all parts of the world and among all age groups, diarrhea is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. However, compared to high-income countries, low-income countries have fewer resources and a less resilient infrastructure, which makes them more susceptible to an unfair share of diarrheal morbidity and mortality. The word "diarrhea" originates from the Greek word "dia rEo," referring to "flow through." When the volume of colonic fluid crosses this segment's absorptive capacity due to decreased absorption and/or increased secretion, diarrhea achievements. In infectious diarrheas, the abnormal function is brought about by microorganisms that colonize the intestinal mucosa and subvert normal gut physiology either directly or via enterotoxins.
