ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection

Description

A condition of the gastrointestinal system, caused by an infection with the gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. This condition is characterised by acute, watery diarrhoea due to toxins released from the bacteria. Transmission is by the faecal-oral route from ingestion of contaminated food, water, or fomites. Confirmation is by identification of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in faecal sample.
