Overview
Patient may give a history of consumption of contaminated food or water, and travel to an endemic area. The symptoms usually develop within 24-48 hour of consumption of contaminated food. Patient presents with sudden onset, painless, odorless, rice watery large volume stool, abdominal cramps, vomiting and fever. It should be differentiated from other infectious causes of diarrhea for e.g. rotavirus, E.coli, amebic dysentry and giardiasis. It should also be differentiated from some non-infectious causes of diarrhea for e.g. VIPoma, tubulovillous adenoma and food poisoning.
