Popis: Diarrhoea is a relatively common symptom in patients presenting to the acute medical take. The differential diagnosis is wide, although the commonest causes are infection, inflammatory bowel disease and motility disturbances. This article aims to summarise an approach which doctors working at the front door may use to enable rapid diagnosis of the cause of diarrhoea, along with management strategies for its treatment.
