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]

- 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]

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]

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]
Microbiology
- Clostridium Perfringens
Campylobacter spp, Clostridium difficile, Clostridium perfringens, and Salmonella spp are most commonly implicated, but many other organisms are likely involved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Staphylococcus aureus (see also Staphylococcal Food Poisoning) Bacillus cereus Clostridium perfringens Eating food contaminated by toxins produced by bacteria Severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea Symptoms begin within 12 hours after eating contaminated [msdmanuals.com]

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
What Is the Prognosis for Gastritis? Most people with gastritis improve quickly once treatment has begun. [webmd.com]
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]
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]

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]
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]
Hospitalization may be needed to correct or prevent dehydration, especially among the very young, elderly or immuno-compromised person. How can I prevent illness? Hand washing is a key step in stopping gastroenteritis. [orangecountync.gov]
