<p>We conducted unmatched case control study. A case was defined as any patient from Mwansabombwe presenting with acute watery diarrhea with or without vomiting and dehydration, while a control was any member of the same community without clinical signs and symptoms between 14th and 25th January, 2023. A structured questionnaire was used to collect demographic, clinical and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) data. We collected five stool samples for microscopy, culture and antibiotic sensitivity patterns to confirm diagnosis. We used a logistic regression to measure the odds of being a case adjusting for demographic, WASH and food history.</p>
