“…In order to have a continuous monitoring activity over this programme, quantification of the current incidence of diarrheal illnesses and the associated mortality is needed. Previous estimates of morbidity and mortality have been extrapolated from the results of a limited number of studies without attempting to evaluate such factors as frequency of surveillance, size and location of study population, and definition of diarrhea used (4 and causes 4% of all deaths and 5% of health loss to disability. In Africa, it is responsible for 7.7% of all deaths.…”

Na comunidade médica, o interesse tem se focalizado na epidemiologia, na patologia e nos métodos de cura; na comunidade antropológica, nos aspectos políticos, econômicos e culturais da doença.…”
