Discuss antibiotic selection for bacterial vs viral diarrhea
antibiotic treatment bacterial diarrhea children
| Feature | Significance |
|---|---|
| Bloody/mucoid stool | Invasive bacterial pathogen — Shigella, Campylobacter, Salmonella |
| High fever (>38.5°C) | Systemic/invasive infection |
| >6 stools/24 hrs | Severe bacterial disease |
| Duration >7 days | Protozoa ya persistent bacterial |
| Immunocompromised patient | Lower threshold for Abx |
| Infant <3 months | High-risk — treat early |
| Traveler's diarrhea | Empiric Abx justified |
| Fecal leukocytes + | Invasive pathogen |
(Goldman-Cecil Medicine): "Antibiotics can be reserved for patients with underlying health conditions OR moderate-severe diarrhea with fever, bloody/mucosal stools, ≥6 stools/24 hrs, or dehydration."
