Acute diarrhea causes may include: 1  Antacids containing magnesium. 2  Antibiotic-associated diarrhea. 3  Blood pressure medications. 4  C. difficile. 5  Campylobacter infection. 6  Cancer medications. 7  Clostridium perfringens infection.
The three types of diarrhea are: acute diarrhea, persistent diarrhea, and dysentery. If an episode of diarrhea lasts less than 14 days, it is acute diarrhea. Acute watery diarrhea causes dehydration and contributes to malnutrition. The death of a child with acute diarrhea is usually due to dehydration. If the diarrhea lasts 14 days or more, it is persistent diarrhea. Up to 20% of episodes of diarrhea become persistent. Persistent diarrhea often causes nutritional problems, creating the risk of malnutrition and serious non-intestinal infection.
