A number of primary epidemiological characteristics are recognized as common to members of a syndrome designated "acute undifferentiated diarrhoeal disease". This syndrome includes both specific and non-specific diarrhoeal disorders. Within the existing knowledge and with the facilities available in less developed countries, an epidemiological basis for control, directed against the syndrome as a whole, is presented as the practical approach to community management. Clinical and microbiological distinctions do not extend to the main bulk of the problem. Individual epidemiological patterns exist according to age and varying social and ecological conditions. Field study by periodic home visits over four years has defined these patterns in highland rural villages in Guatemala. The chief problem was weanling diarrhoea.
一些主要的流行病学特征被认为是被称为“急性未分化腹泻病”综合征患者所共有的。该综合征包括特异性和非特异性腹泻疾病。在现有知识范围内以及欠发达国家所具备的条件下，针对整个综合征制定的控制流行病学基础，被视为社区管理的切实可行方法。临床和微生物学上的区别并未涵盖问题的主要方面。根据年龄以及不同的社会和生态条件存在个体流行病学模式。通过在危地马拉高地农村村庄进行为期四年的定期家访实地研究确定了这些模式。主要问题是断奶期腹泻。
