Summary

This study aims to find out which germs cause summer diarrhea in children who visit the emergency room. Researchers will collect stool samples from children aged 0 to 16 and test them for viruses, bacteria, and parasites. The goal is to better understand the causes of these infections and identify factors that could help prevent them.
