index search health books site map Diarrhoea and Vomiting Diarrhoea and vomiting often appear together, but may appear separately. Most times, although you feel terrible, there is little that a doctor can do for you, other than give advice similar to that below. For most intents and purposes the approach to the treatment is similar: Do Only drink clear fluids eg purpose-made electrolyte solutions, or "pop", such as lemonade. Start by just taking sips of fluid, and when the sickness subsides slowly build up the quantity. You may take anti-diarrhoea medications which can help the symptoms, but they do not cure you any quicker. Do not Do not eat until at least 24 hours after the last sickness or diarrhoea subsides. Do not drink milk, or drinks containing particles, as these take more digestion, and irritate the bowel. Do not take any tablets for headache or fever until the vomiting subsides. Diarrhoea Diarrhoea involves frequent and loose motions. It is usually caused by inflammation of the large intestine, which is where the body removes most of the fluid from digested food. The major cause, in the context that we are referring to, is infection, but there are various other rarer causes which occasionally occur. If diarrhoea persists, and is not subsiding after a week, you should consult your doctor. It may be that you think it is due to a treatment you are taking from your doctor or dentist, and it is wise to consult your doctor immediately if this is the case. In some cases bleeding occurs, and this also should prompt a consultation with your doctor, but as long as the blood loss is not heavy, this can await a daytime consultation.

Diarrhoea Viruses: Astroviruses; Caliciviruses; Reoviruses (Rotaviruses) Diarrhoea is not as dramatic an illness as AIDS. However, the above groups of viruses are of great economic importance, causing millions of lost working days each year, as well as much discomfort. Diarrhoea continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide resulting in an estimated 1000 deaths among children each day, the highest incidence being in developing countries of the world. One well documented source of infection is the consumption of shellfish (polluted by sewage) - and therefore, they also have economic consequences for fishermen and the food industry. Such viruses often cause mini-epidemics in families, hospital wards, etc and are potentially very dangerous to seriously ill hospital patients. More importantly, these viruses contribute to the massive mortality caused by infantile diarrhoea in developing countries and are responsible for uncounted millions of deaths each year. The human pathogens in these groups have been poorly studied since for the most part, they do not grow in culture. Only recently has molecular information on the nature of their genomes become available. The taxonomy of these viruses is still somewhat confused and they have previously been grouped on the basis of their appearance in the EM (unreliable). Recently, nucleotide sequences of members of each group have been determined, allowing genome organization to be used as a basis for future classification:

Diarrhoea is the passing of increased amounts (more than 300g in 24 hours) of loose stools. It is often caused by a virus or bacteria and can be acute (short term) or chronic (long term) - lasting more than two to three weeks. Most people are affected by diarrhoea at some time in their lives. It is often accompanied by stomach pains, feeling sick and vomiting. It is usually due to consumption of drinking water contaminated with bacteria, undercooked meat and eggs or inadequate kitchen hygiene - in other words, an infection. Diarrhoea normally only lasts for a few days, but it can be very stressful when it occurs.

Home What is Facts for Life Timing Births ... PDF and text-only versions Why it is important to share and act on information about Diarrhoea Diarrhoea kills over 1 million children every year through dehydration and malnutrition. Children are more likely than adults to die from diarrhoea because they become dehydrated more quickly. About one in every 200 children who contract diarrhoea will die from it. Diarrhoea is caused by germs that are swallowed, especially germs from faeces. This happens most often where there is unsafe disposal of faeces, poor hygiene practices or a lack of clean drinking water, or when infants are not breastfed. Infants who are fed only breastmilk seldom get diarrhoea. If families and communities work together, with support from governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), they can do much to prevent the conditions that cause diarrhoea.

Diarrhoea Factsheet 04 - Reviewed January 2004 Diarrhoea is common amongst people with HIV. It can be caused by some anti-HIV drugs, medicines used to treat some infections, and in people with a low CD4 count diarrhoea may be caused by some opportunistic infections. Diarrhoea can take the form of a semi-loose to completely liquid stool, and may result in having to go to the toilet more frequently and urgently. It is common for diarrhoea to be accompanied by stomach pains, bloating, nausea, vomiting, fever and loss of appetite. Diarrhoea as a drug related side-effect Diarrhoea has been reported as a side-effect of all the protease inhibitors as well as ddI and abacavir in the NRTI class, and with some antibiotics. With some drugs, diarrhoea goes away after the first few weeks or months of treatment, however for some people it becomes a permanent feature of living with the drug. The severity of the diarrhoea also varies. Severe diarrhoea, involving several trips to the toilet each day, large, uncontrollable liquid bowel movements, and feelings of weakness and dizziness as a result of the loss of fluids and electrolytes is experienced by about a quarter of people starting treatment with nelfinavir and a fifth of people starting saquinavir. Similar levels have been reported in people taking amprenavir, lopinavir, ritonavir and indinavir. Less serious problems may be experienced by many other people taking protease inhibitors. Changes in diet have little effect on protease inhibitor and other drug-related diarrhoea. However a variety of treatments are available to doctors to try and control diarrhoea caused by drugs. These include:

Think before you eat and drink as it is very easy to pick up a bout of diarrhoea while holidaying abroad. The most common cause of holiday or travellers' diarrhoea is the different types of virus and bacteria at the destination. The local drinking water in particular is an obvious source of risk in many places and should, therefore, be completely avoided. Replace it with water from previously unopened bottles for drinking as well as for cleaning teeth and making ice for drinks. Approximately 40 per cent of all cases of travellers' diarrhoea are due to infections with ETEC (enterotoxin-forming Escherichia coli bacteria). It is also possible to be infected with other and more specific and unpleasant bacteria and parasites, such as

16. ORS: The Medical Advance Of The Century UNICEF and the use of oral rehydration salts (ORS) the best way of combating the dehydration caused by diarrhoea. http://www.unicef.org/sowc96/joral.htm

Contents Next Page Previous Page Panel 10 ORS: The medical advance of the century During the 1980s, UNICEF launched the 'child survival and development revolution', concentrating its efforts on four potent methods of saving children's lives growth monitoring, breastfeeding, immunization, and the use of oral rehydration salts (ORS) the best way of combating the dehydration caused by diarrhoea. The British medical journal The Lancet has described ORS as "potentially the most important medical advance of this century." In the late 1970s, acute diarrhoea was killing around 5 million children each year. The obvious response to dehydration giving the child water to drink did not work because the liquid rushed through the digestive tract too quickly to be absorbed by the body tissues. The only answer seemed to be to bypass the digestive system altogether and rehydrate the body using an intravenous drip. This is an invasive and traumatic procedure for a child. And because it must be administered by someone with medical training, it is completely impractical for most episodes of childhood diarrhoea, which take place out of range of any kind of medical attention.

It is most commonly caused by gastrointestinal infections which kill around 2.2 million people globally each year, mostly children in developing countries. The use of water in hygiene is an important preventive measure but contaminated water is also an important cause of diarrhoea. Cholera and dysentery cause severe, sometimes life threatening forms of diarrhoea. The disease and how it affects people Diarrhoea is the passage of loose or liquid stools more frequently than is normal for the individual. It is primarily a symptom of gastrointestinal infection. Depending on the type of infection, the diarrhoea may be watery (for example in cholera) or passed with blood (in dysentery for example). Diarrhoea due to infection may last a few days, or several weeks, as in persistent diarrhoea. Severe diarrhoea may be life threatening due to fluid loss in watery diarrhoea, particularly in infants and young children, the malnourished and people with impaired immunity.
