Acute diarrhea continues to be an important cause of hospitalization in young children, and deaths still occur as a result. We reviewed a large cohort of hospitalized children affected by gastroenteritis. The hypothesis of our study was that clinical characteristics and a limited set of laboratory data can differentiate between the different causative pathogens of diarrhea.
