difference between diarrhea and dysentery

Diarrhea is a condition in which the stools pass in a continuous diarrhea or watery state, while dysentery is an inflammation of the intestines, especially the large intestine, which can cause severe diarrhea accompanied by mucus and blood.

The main difference between diarrhea and dysentery is as follows:

	Diarrhea	dysentery
1	Diarrhea is described as stool containing excess water without blood or mucus.	Dysentery is manifested by mucous secretions, accompanied by an admixture of mucus and blood.
2	Diarrhea may or may not be accompanied by burning and pain.	Patients complain of pain and burning in the lower abdomen.
3	Patients rarely have a fever.	The patient has a high temperature
4	Diarrhea is an intestinal disease that affects young children.	Diarrhea is a disease of the colon
5	Diarrheal infection is found only in the intestinal lumen and upper epithelial cells.	Dysentery occurs not only in the upper epithelial cells, but also in the formation of ulcers or scabs (ulcers) on the wall of the colon.
6	It does not cause cell death, and infection occurs only as a result of allergies or the release of toxins from infectious agents (germs).	In people with dysentery, the upper epithelial cells are attacked and destroyed by pathogens or pathogens.
7	Antimicrobials used to treat diarrhea do not remove toxins or toxins released by microbes.	Dysentery is treated to kill the pathogens causing the infection and stop the inflammation.
8	Diarrhea has little effect on those who suffer from it, apart from the risk of dehydration.	Dysentery can lead to many complications if not treated quickly.
9	Diarrhea is mainly caused by viruses, but E. coli also causes diarrhea.	Dysentery is mainly caused by bacteria. The most common micro-organisms that cause dysentery are Escherichia coli, Shigella and Salmonella.
ten	Treatment of diarrhea does not require antibiotics, treatment of dehydration by replacing lost body fluids with plenty of fluids, or intravenous therapy (infusions).	Dysentery must be treated with medication and antibiotics. Antibiotics can be given by mouth or intravenously (by injection) if children have severe dysentery.
