Children are more susceptible. Vibrio cholerae, Clostridium difficle, E.coli, Shigella, Giardia lamblia, and Entamoeba histolytica are the most common species causing infectious diarrhea. Rotavirus, norovirus, and astrovirus also cause infectious diarrhea. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dysentery, fever, fatigue, weakness, dehydration, etc. Antimicrobial therapy with rehydration can treat.
