Acute diarrhoea is the second leading cause of death in children aged younger than 5 years, accounting for approximately 1.9 million deaths worldwide each year; however, diarrhoea is a preventable and treatable condition. In Malaysia, acute gastroenteritis accounts for about 1.3% of all deaths in children aged younger than 5 years annually. Diarrhoea is defined as the passage of three or more loose or watery stools within 24 hours, and it may be clinically categorised as either acute watery diarrhoea (AWD), acute bloody diarrhoea, persistent diarrhoea or diarrhoea with severe malnutrition.
