The document summarizes research on childhood diarrhea in Libya. It finds that viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens are important causes, with rotavirus, Salmonella, and Cryptosporidium as major agents. Misuse of antibiotics in Libya has led to increased drug resistance in enteric bacteria isolated from diarrhea cases. Recommendations include educational programs to promote oral rehydration and breastfeeding, as well as considering introduction of a rotavirus vaccine.
