Gastroenteritis Is A Serious Global Problem

Globally, there are an estimated two billion cases of diarrheal disease every year which kill approximately 1.8 million people annually. Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of malnutrition in children under five years old.1

Diarrheal disease inflicts a significant toll on the health care system and imparts a high degree of morbidity and mortality in select populations. In 2010, the U.S. national bill for the 237,000+ patients suffering from gastrointestinal infections was over $6 billion. Due to similar symptoms it is difficult to differentiate among viral, bacterial and parasitic agents. Hence, about 80% of all cases of diarrhea currently go unidentified, often resulting in inappropriate treatment. It is both preventable and treatable.
