Diarrhoea: Acute and Chronic Diarrhoea, Infectious Causes, Assessment and Treatment
A medicine lecture that defines diarrhoea by stool weight and duration and separates acute from persistent and chronic. It takes the infectious agents and their pathophysiology, the indications for evaluation and the diagnostic workup, then classifies chronic diarrhoea as secretory, osmotic, steatorrhoeal, inflammatory, motility-related or factitious, and closes on fluid and electrolyte replacement, antimotility agents such as loperamide, diphenoxylate, codeine and tincture of opium, and empiric metronidazole for suspected giardiasis.
