Acute Diarrhea with Dehydration
When diarrhea is accompanied by signs of significant fluid loss, seeking prompt attention is essential, especially in children and older adults. Acute diarrhea with dehydration is a picture of frequent liquid stools of short duration in which the body loses more water and salts than it takes in.
Warning signs: intense thirst, dry mouth, urinating little, weakness, dizziness and, in children, crying without tears or marked lethargy.
Common causes: intestinal infections from viruses, bacteria, or parasites, as well as certain contaminated foods or water, are among the most frequent.
Which specialist treats it? The emergency physician, the pediatrician in the case of children, and the infectious disease specialist are involved depending on the situation. Because of the risk of dehydration, if these signs appear it is best to seek evaluation without delay.
