Diarrhoea--differential diagnosis

W Selby. Aust Fam Physician. 1990 Nov.

Abstract

Diarrhoea may present as an acute or chronic illness. The causes are numerous, and can usually be determined by consideration of the mechanics of the diarrhoea, the site of the disease process and its nature. A careful history and physical examination are essential, followed by appropriate investigation.
