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]
It disrupts the mucosa, causing bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever, and fecal leukocytes are present. [contemporaryclinic.pharmacytimes.com]

We present a case of chronic norovirus disease during rituximab-bendamustine chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- 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]
[…] on acute diarrhea in a 6 - 24 month-old hospitalized infants Turkisk J Paediatr 2006;48:115-8 [web.archive.org]
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
Other types of Vibrio Shellfish Watery diarrhea, often with little nausea or vomiting Antibiotics are given (for example, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, or trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole). [merckmanuals.com]
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]
Symptoms include: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It is sometimes referred to as the "stomach flu" or food poisoning, though it usually is neither. [medicinenet.com]
- Abdominal Pain
When a patient complains of abdominal pain, the various causes of an acute abdomen or referred pain should be considered. Upper abdominal pain could be acute cholecystitis, pancreatitis, or a perforated ulcer. [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]
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]
[…] fever, headache, cough, constipation followed by diarrhoea, characteristic skin rash (rose spots), abdominal pain and confusion. [hpsc.ie]
- 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]
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]
“Traveller’s diarrhea” is a polyetiologic common health problem of international travellers which affects travellers generally for days, but it can result in chronic postinfectious irritable bowel syndrome as well. [real.mtak.hu]
Skin
- Perianal Excoriation
She is an active baby with perianal excoriation and a weight of 5.5 kg. She has a sunken fontanelle and decreased skin turgor (pinch test 3 sec). She passes urine during the examination. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Impulsivity
Electrolytes are the salts and minerals that the body uses to conduct electrical impulses that allow the muscles and nervous system to function correctly. [badgut.org]
Instead impulses from the CTZ are relayed to the vomiting center, which coordinates the various physiological functions involved in vomiting. [doi.org]
Neurologic
- Headache
[…] fever, headache, cough, constipation followed by diarrhoea, characteristic skin rash (rose spots), abdominal pain and confusion. [hpsc.ie]
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]
- Dystonia
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]
- Extrapyramidal Symptoms
[…] the intent of decreasing the rate of dehydration and increasing the efficiency of oral rehydration solutions. 4, 5 The potential benefits of using antiemetics, however, should always be weighed against possible adverse effects, such as lethargy and extrapyramidal [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
Assuming treatment failure rate to be an extremely conservative proxy for dysentery deaths not preventable with prompt antibiotic treatment, it can be estimated that treatment of dysentery with ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone or pivmecillinam will reduce diarrhoea [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]
What Is the Prognosis for Gastritis? Most people with gastritis improve quickly once treatment has begun. [webmd.com]
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]
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]
Bennett, MD, MACP, and Raphael Dolin, MD KEY FEATURES Provides more in-depth coverage of epidemiology, etiology, pathology, microbiology, immunology, and treatment of infectious agents than you’ll find in any other ID resource so you can get the answers [web.archive.org]
Epidemiology
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]
Owing to the severity of the symptoms, an epidemiological investigation was conducted in two states of Brazil. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology

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]
[citation needed] Pathophysiology Receptors on the floor of the fourth ventricle of the brain represent a chemoreceptor trigger zone, known as the area postrema, stimulation of which can lead to vomiting. [en.wikipedia.org]
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]
Prevention Exclude people with viral gastroenteritis from childcare, preschool, school and work until there has been no diarrhoea or vomiting for 24 hours. [sahealth.sa.gov.au]
In addition, current and future prevention and treatment options are discussed, including recent patents. [doi.org]
