Overview
There is no established diagnostic study of choice for acute diarrhea, as it is generally self-limited. Specific diagnostic studies are performed if symptoms last >7 days, in moderate-to-severe cases, dysentery, and to determine etiology in order to enable directed pathogen-specific therapy.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
There is no established diagnostic study of choice for acute diarrhea as it is generally self-limited. Specific diagnostic studies are performed if symptoms last >7 days, in moderate-to-severe cases, dysentery, and to determine etiology in order to enable directed pathogen-specific therapy.[1][2]
