Presentation
We sought to determine the frequency of gastroenteritis-like presentations and delayed or missed diagnoses among patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract: Viral gastroenteritis presents a major public health concern worldwide. It is mostly a disease of young children. However, acquired immunity may wane and symptomatic infection can also occur in adults. [doi.org]

This inflammation leads to diarrhea and/or vomiting, as well as complications from these symptoms, such as abdominal pain, dehydration, and fatigue. [badgut.org]
Mild to moderate dehydration can cause dry mouth, fatigue, sleepiness, thirst, decreased urine output, dry skin, constipation, and dizziness. [contemporaryclinic.pharmacytimes.com]
Dizziness, headache, and fatigue may develop, and the person may feel sleepy or be unable to concentrate. [merck.com]
People exposed to giardia may experience mild or severe diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, and fatigue. In some instances, there may be no symptoms at all. Fever is rarely present. [web.archive.org]

Vomiting
Intravenous ondansetron and metoclopramide reduced the number of episodes of vomiting and hospital admission, and dimenhydrinate as a suppository reduced the duration of vomiting. [scielo.br]
The vomiting center, which controls and integrates the act of vomiting, is located close to other centers which regulate respiration, vasomotor, and other autonomic functions and that may play an additional role in vomiting. [doi.org]

Diarrhea
Viral gastroenteritis, or viral diarrhea, is perhaps the most common type of diarrhea worldwide; rotaviruses, caliciviruses, Norwalk viruses, and adenoviruses are the most common causes. [britannica.com]
If diarrhea is very severe or you have a weak immune system, antibiotics may be needed. You can buy medicines at the drugstore that can help stop or slow diarrhea. [nlm.nih.gov]

Nausea
In this small sample, misdiagnosed patients presented more often with normal mental state (100% vs. 35%, p 0.07) and nausea/vomiting (100% vs. 58%, p 0.22). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Foods to try include: Cereals, bread, potatoes, lean meats Plain yogurt, bananas, fresh apples Vegetables If you have diarrhea and are unable to drink or keep down fluids because of nausea or vomiting, you may need fluids through a vein (IV). [nlm.nih.gov]

Abdominal Pain
It is diagnosed in the biopsies taken during endoscopic examination to the patients with abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea. A 40-year-old woman was admitted with abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Mid-abdominal pain could be a sign of intestinal obstruction or mesenteric ischemia. Lower abdominal pain could be appendicitis or sigmoid diverticulitis, or it could have a gynecologic or urologic cause. [contemporaryclinic.pharmacytimes.com]
Children with significant abdominal pain. Replace deficit over first 6 hours and then give daily maintenance over the next 18 hours. [rch.org.au]

Chronic Diarrhea
In this article we present a case of chronic diarrhea diagnosed EGE. The first step in diagnosing is suspecting EGE. It should be borne in mind in patients with chronic diarrhea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
While infectious agents do not commonly cause chronic diarrhea, those that do include C. difficile, Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, Cryptosporidium, Aeromonas and Yersinia. Amoebiasis is the second to malaria as a protozoal cause of death. [real.mtak.hu]
Depending on the clinical setting and age group, it may be necessary to do a more comprehensive search for other underlying causes of chronic diarrhea. [web.archive.org]

Nasogastric (NG) feeding allows continuous administration of ORS at a slow, steady rate for patients with persistent vomiting or oral ulcers. Clinical trials support using NG feedings, even for vomiting patients ( 45 ). [cdc.gov]

Other symptoms include headache, fever, and abdominal cramps. In general, the symptoms begin 1 – 2 days following infection with a virus that causes gastroenteritis. [chp.gov.hk]
Symptoms of gastroenteritis include diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, fever, and chills. Most people recover with no treatment. The most common problem with gastroenteritis is dehydration. [medlineplus.gov]
The common symptoms are: Nausea Vomiting Diarrhoea Stomach pain Other symptoms may include fever, headache and body aches. [moh.gov.sg]

Akathisia
The adverse effects of metoclopramide in young children have been well documented and may include fatigue and such extrapyramidal phenomena as dystonia, dyskinesia, akathisia, opisthotonos, and oculogyric crises ( Taylor 1999 ). [doi.org]

Workup
In the second group (starting from April 2014, except for specimens in which the amount of reagent was insufficient) testing for norovirus was added to the routine diagnostic workup. [analesdepediatria.org]
The initial workup of persistent travelers’ diarrhea should always include a C. difficile stool toxin assay. [wwwnc.cdc.gov]
Treatment
Nitazoxanide may be considered as an option for the treatment of intractable norovirus gastroenteritis in pediatric transplant patients when reduced immunosuppression is not feasible or other treatment options have failed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This review compared the efficacy of various antiemetic drugs versus placebo or no treatment in cases of acute vomiting due to gastroenteritis among children and adolescents. [scielo.br]
Future treatment guidelines should incorporate ondansetron therapy for select children with gastroenteritis. [doi.org]
Prognosis
Outlook (Prognosis) For most people, the illness goes away in a few days without treatment. Possible Complications Severe dehydration can occur in infants and young children. [ufhealth.org]
Studies have found that post-infectious IBS affects between 5-32% of those who experience gastroenteritis.3 However, the prognosis is good for this type of IBS, with symptoms typically gone soon after developing, without need for treatment. [badgut.org]
What Is the Prognosis for Gastritis? Most people with gastritis improve quickly once treatment has begun. [webmd.com]
Prognosis For most people, gastroenteritis is not a serious illness. It typically resolves within two to three days and there are usually no long-term effects. If dehydration occurs, recovery is extended by a few days. [healthofchildren.com]
Etiology
Bacteriologic and parasitologic advances made during the past century led to the discovery of the etiology of some of the diarrheal illnesses, but the etiology of the major portion remained unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
Understanding norovirus epidemiology is essential for reducing disease burden. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This review covers the four most common causes of adult viral gastroenteritis, Calicivirirdae (predominantly noroviruses), astroviruses, enteric adenoviruses and rotaviruses focussing on their epidemiologic, structural, pathogenic and clinical aspects [doi.org]

Now in full color, Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine continues to define the practice of medicine-encompassing all the essential aspects - basic science, pathophysiology, clinical signs/symptoms, diagnosis, and up-to-date treatment. [books.mcgraw-hill.com]
No classification scheme matches perfectly with the pathophysiology; a large degree of overlap exists. Some forms of gastritis involve acid-peptic and H. pylori disease (see also Overview of Acid Secretion). [merckmanuals.com]
Prevention
Moreover, these probiotics and prebiotics have been related to shorter duration and severity of rotavirus diarrhea, to the prevention of infection and reduced incidence of reinfections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In addition, current and future prevention and treatment options are discussed, including recent patents. [doi.org]
