AB Diarrhea may be primarily infectious in origin. Causes can be conveniently classified according to the etiologic agent, which may be viral, chlamydial, bacterial, protozoal, helminthic or fungal. The most common type of infectious diarrhea in Canada is viral. Bacterial infection, particularly staphylococcal and salmonellal, also is relatively common.
