Intestinal infectious diseases include a large number of infections of the bowels, including cholera, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, other types of salmonella infections, shigellosis, botulism, gastroenteritis, and amoebiasis among others.[1]
Typhoid and paratyphoid resulted in 221,000 deaths in 2013 down from 259,000 deaths in 1990.[2] Other diseases which result in diarrhea caused another 1.3 million additional deaths in 2013 down from 2.6 million deaths in 1990.[2]
