Abstract
Diarrheal diseases are very common in summer. They may be infectious and non – infectious causes which are listed in article.
Diarrhea is also the most common illness in travellers to the tropics and subtropics; enterotoxigenic strains of Eschericha coli are the most frequent causative agents. In treatment of summer diarrhea only symptomatic therapy (rehydration, diet, non-specific treatment) is usually necessary.
Antibiotics are usually used rarely in indicated cases.
