Diarrhea is the frequent passage of loose or watery stools. Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluids and electrolytes than it takes in-commonly due to diarrhea. If not treated early, dehydration can become serious, especially in children and the elderly.

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral infection. Although not endemic, cases are occasionally reported in Qatar due to international travel and imported infections.
