And more common causes of diarrhea, gastro-intestinal infections, The number of deaths due to diarrheal disease in 1998, an estimated about 2.2 million cases, was mostly of children under five years of age (WHO 2000) and the symptom of diarrhea caused by a range of micro-organisms, whether parasitic, viral or bacterial, and is spread mainly through contaminated water, and common injury tags when there is a shortage of clean water for drinking and cooking or cleaning, and aggravated by poor personal hygiene, and food is another major cause of diarrhea when it is prepared or stored in unhygienic conditions. Given the importance of diarrheal disease and to identify the spatial distribution in the province of his grandmother were conducted descriptive study included all children enrolled in primary health centers in Jeddah. The study found that the number of cases of diarrheal disease in children less than five years and who have reviewed the health centers in Jeddah has reached 4479 cases, including 2471 cases (55.2%) in the age group less than a year and 2008 cases (44.8%) in the age of 1 5 years.
