**3.2 Acute bloody diarrhea**

It is also called dysentery. Acute bloody diarrhea is a health emergency that should be treated quickly. Its cause is usually significant and actionable usually known. Acute bloody diarrhea as a standalone scientific presentation, on the other hand, has received little scientific attention in recent decades. Despite the wide range of probable causes for acute bloody diarrhea, infectious considerations are crucial and should always be prioritized in such patients' evaluations. The goal of the history, examination and laboratory tests should be to get a diagnosis as quickly as possible (and, by extension, to implement appropriate therapy). Adroit therapy for children with acute bloody diarrhea requires carefully planned testing and imaging, avoiding unnecessary diagnostic endeavors, and providing supportive care while waiting for a diagnosis.
