Infectious diarrhea is the largest single cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Bacteria, viruses, and protozoan parasites are the most common causative agents. Treatment in most cases of bacterial and viral diseases consists of correcting fluid loss and electrolyte imbalance by oral or parenteral rehydration. Antimicrobial therapy is reserved for very ill patients only. With the exception of Cryptosporidium, for which no effective agent is yet available, all protozoan infections are treatable with metronidazole.
感染性腹泻是全球发病和死亡的最大单一原因。细菌、病毒和原生动物寄生虫是最常见的病原体。大多数细菌性和病毒性疾病的治疗包括通过口服或胃肠外补液纠正液体丢失和电解质失衡。抗菌治疗仅适用于病情非常严重的患者。除了目前尚无有效药物的隐孢子虫外，所有原生动物感染都可用甲硝唑治疗。
