  1. EPIDEMIOLOGY AND CONTROL OF ACUTE DIARRHEAL DISEASES Dr. AnishKhanna Associate Professor Department of Community Medicine and Public Health K.G.M.U, Lucknow.

  2. WHAT IS DIARRHOEA? • Diarrhoea is the passage of loose, liquid or watery stool. • In many regions Diarrhoea is defined as passage of three or more loose or watery stools in 24 hour period. • However it is the recent change in consistency and character of stool than the number of stools that is more important. • In most cases the mother knows what is abnormal stool for her child. • It is a killer disease in children. • One in four deaths in children under the age of 5yrs. is due to diarrhoea.

  3. WHAT CAUSES DIARRHOEA? • Infectious Disease Agents Causing Diarrhoea. • BACTERIA • Escherichia coli • It produces heat labile (LT) and heat stable (ST) entertoxins. • E.COLI - COULD BE • Enteropathogenic- Causes infantile diarrhoea. • Enterotoxigenic – Causes travellersdiarrhoea. • Enteroinvasive- Dysentery type of diarrhoea. • Enteroadherent • Enterohaemorrhagic • VIBRIOCHOLERAE- produces enterotoxins • Vibrioparahaemolyticus- Invasive. • Non-Choleraevibrios

  4. WHAT CAUSES DIARRHOEA? • Infectious Disease Agents • SHIGELLAE–Invasive, produce bloody diarrhoea or Dysentery. • CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI – invasive. • SALMONELLAE OTHER THAN S.TYPHI- invasive. • STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS- entrotoxins • CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS- enterotoxins. • 3. VIRUSES • Rotavirus – invasive. • 4. PARASITES • E. histolytica- invasive. • GiardiaLamblia- non invasive.

  5. WHAT IS THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM? • WORLD WIDE? • IN INDIA? • NFHS- 2 data highlights morbidity profile of under 3 yrs. • Fever- (27%) • A.R.I. - (17%) • Diarrhoea – (13%) • Under Wt. (43%) • Often due to a combination of these conditions. • Diarrhoeal diseases are a major public health problem among children under 5yrs. of age. • Around 8-11 million cases are being reported annually in India.

  6. WHAT IS THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF DAIRRHOEAL DISEASES? • RISK FACTORS OR DETERMINANTS • AGENT FACTORS • HOST FACTORS • ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS • RESERVOIR OF INFECTION.

  7. HOW MANY TYPES OF DIARRHOEA ARE THERE? • ACUTE WATERY DIARRHOEA. • DYSENTRY (BLOOD IN STOOLS). • PERSISTENT DIARRHOEA.

  8. HOW SHOULD ACUTE WATERY DIARRHOEA IN CHILDREN BE MANAGED? ASSESSMENT OF DEHYDRATION DOES THE CHILD HAVE SIGNS OF DEHYDRATION? IS DEHYDRATION MILD OR SEVERE?

  9. ASSESSMENT OF THE CHILD WITH DIARRHEA FOR THE DEGREE OF DEHYDRATION AND MANAGEMENT

  10. AFTER CLINICAL ASSESSMENT WHAT SHOULD BE DONE? • LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS • FEEDING DURING DIARRHOEA • RATIONAL USE OF DRUGS # What is the role of anti Diarrhoeals? • FLUID THERAPY

  11. FLUID THERAPY IN DIARRHOEA • WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF FLUID THERAPY. • APPROPRIATE FLUID THERAPY • - ORS • Basis of ORS • What is the mechanism of action of ORS? • OTHER FLUIDS • HAF • -SSS (Sugar salt solution)

  12. WHAT SHOULD BE THE TREATMENT OF CASES OF ACUTE WATERY DIARRHOEA • THREE CATEGORIES OF CASES. • Cases with No Signs of dehydration- Plan-A. • Cases with some signs of dehydration- Plan-B • Cases with severe dehydration-Plan -C

  13. HOW CAN DIARRHOEA BE PREVENTED? • PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES. • Sanitation • - Hand washing • - Exclusive breast feeding • - Clean food • Environmental sanitation • Elimination of Reservoirs • Breaking the channel of transmissions

  14. PREVENTION OF DIARRHOEA? • ELIMINATION OF RESERVOIRS • Prevention of dehydration • Correction of dehydration • Maintenance of hydration • Chemotherapy • Restoration of Nutritional Status. • Diarrhoea- Leads to malnutrition • Increase in Breast feeding frequency • Increase in diet.

  15. OTHER PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES? • Vitamin –A prophylaxis • Improved Nutrition • Immunization • Measles immunization • ROTA VIRUS VACCINE • Two live oral attenuated rotavirus vaccines were licensed • in 2006. Now there are three. • Monovalent human rotavirus vaccine (Rotarix). • The pentavalent bovine- Human reassortant vaccine • (Rota Teq) • They Provide 75-80% protection against rotavirus diarrhoea • and 90-100% protection against rotavirus disease.

  16. WHAT ARE THE NATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR DIARRHOEA IN INDIA • National diarrhoeal disease control program (NDDCP) • Diarrhoeal disease control program started in 1978. • 1985 – 86 National Oral Rehydration Therapy Program • Case management of diarrhoea by HAF & ORS. • Improvement of maternal knowledge and practices with egard to HAF

  17. Since CSSM Program became a part of RCH program in 1997, Integrated Management of Child hood Illness (IMCI) has been adopted in India. • IMCI deals with all children not only sick children • Diarrhoea • Pneumonia • Measles • Malaria • Health promotion • Immunization • Breast feeding • Vit. A & Iron Supplementation

  18. WHAT ARE THE REVISED GUIDELINES FOR MANAGEMENT OF DIARRHOEA? • GOI & IAP (Indian Academy of Pediatrics) • Low osmolarity ORS • Zinc (10mg Elemental Zinc for infants 2-6 month of age 20mg Zinc for children > 6 months for 14 days) • Feeding of energy dense foods in addition to Breast feeding • HAF • Hygiene • Antimicrobials for gross blood in stools or shigella + culture.
