Background: Campylobacter, nontyphoidal Salmonella, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia cause an estimated 1 million cases of domestically acquired waterborne diseases annually in the United States. Acute symptoms can include diarrhea and vomiting; however, these illnesses can result in longer term complications such as reactive arthritis, Guillan Barré syndrome and death, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Precipitation and drought can plausibly increase the risk of enteric infections, but consensus in the literature is lacking.

Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed 5,304 cases of moderate-to-severe diarrhea and identified 2,284 (43%) as severe dehydration using WHO guidelines, but one-third had no attributable pathogens.
- * The most common pathogens varied by age group, with rotavirus being prevalent in younger children, and the findings aim to enhance future prevention and treatment strategies for severe dehydration.
