New guidelines on the management of acute diarrhea in adults were promulgated in 2016. The aim of this review was to provide an overview of the context of acute diarrhea and how to generally approach a patient; to present some new areas in the field concerning diagnostics, particularly culture-independent testing, as well as some of the risks and benefits of treatment; and to discuss prevention, particularly in the traveler's diarrhea setting.

“…Shifts in the composition of the gut microbiota, induced by, for instance, a change in the diet, or invasive pathogens, can disturb the balance of organisms and favor the outgrowth of potentially pathogenic constituents. 3 Traveling, for instance, involves exposing oneself to foreign microbes, and acute diarrhea is the most common travel-related condition, caused by bacterial, viral, or protozoal pathogens. Globally, Escherichia coli is the most common bacterial pathogen, followed by Campylobacter and Shigella, members of the phylum Proteobacteria.…”

“…Despite having a relatively high incidence, traveler's diarrhea is usually mild, and only requires hospitalization in less than one percent of cases. 23 Most cases of traveler's diarrhea could be attributed to bacterial causes, most commonly, EAEC, enteroinvasive E. coli, and Enterotoxigenic E. coli. Other less common causes include Shigella, Salmonella, And Campylobacter.…”

Gastroenteritis is the inflammation of intestines and stomach which presents with vomiting, fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea. It could be persistent, acute, or chronic, and can also be classified as infectious or non-infectious. Despite improvement in management, the mortality can reach up to 17,000. In this study, our aim was to understand the various etiologies that cause gastroenteritis in adults, and also discuss methods of management. We conducted this review using a comprehensive search of MEDLINE, PubMed and EMBASE from January 1994 to March 2017. The following search terms were used: acute gastroenteritis, diarrheal disease, viral gastroenteritis, bacterial gastroenteritis, diagnoses of gastroenteritis. Each year, more than 350 million cases of acute gastroenteritis occur in the United States only. The largest portion of gastroenteritis cases is due to viral infections. Therefore, the empiric use of antibiotics is usually not recommended. However, in selected patients, empiric antibiotics therapy is indicated and is associated with significant improvement and decrease in mortality. The primary goal of management of gastroenteritis is treating dehydration.
