Diarrhea may be primarily infectious in origin. Causes can be conveniently classified according to the etiologic agent, which may be viral, chlamydial, bacterial, protozoal, helminthic or fungal. The most common type of infectious diarrhea in Canada is viral. Bacterial infection, particularly staphylococcal and salmonellal, also is relatively common.
腹泻可能主要源于感染。病因可根据病原体方便地分类，病原体可能是病毒、衣原体、细菌、原生动物、蠕虫或真菌。加拿大最常见的感染性腹泻类型是病毒性的。细菌感染，尤其是葡萄球菌和沙门氏菌感染，也相对常见。
