Abstract
Secretory diarrhea (SD) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally particularly among infants and children. Enterotoxin-mediated diarrhea due to cholera, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and rotavirus remain major causes of SD in developing countries, while genetic diseases that produce defects in intestinal ion transporters and motor proteins are increasingly implicated in diarrheal diseases in developed countries. In recent years, significant advances have been made in understanding various factors that contribute to the underlying pathogenesis of SD. These advances are the result of research progress in the fields of genetics, cell biology, and physiology and animal models that have culminated in the development of new therapeutic agents for treating SD. The major advances in pathophysiology and treatment of enterotoxin and genetic causes of SD in childhood will be reviewed.
