Abstract: We read with interest the report on effect of social isolation in dengue cases in Brazil [1] and would like to provide information on diarrhea cases in Pakistan. Diarrhea (three or more times loose or watery stools in a 24-hour period) is the world’s eighth largest cause of illness and premature death. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 1.7 billion cases of children diarrheal disease occur each year, accounting for 1.6 million deaths.
