Gastro-Intestinal Tract Infections

Gastrointestinal contaminations are viral, bacterial, or parasitic diseases that cause gastroenteritis, an aggravation of the gastrointestinal tract influencing both the stomach and the small digestive system. Symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Lack of hydration is the primary peril of gastrointestinal diseases, so rehydration is significant, yet most gastrointestinal contaminations are self-constraining and resolve inside a couple of days. However, in a healthcare setting and in specific populations (newborns / infants, immunocompromised patients or elderly populations), they are potentially serious. Prompt diagnosis, appropriate treatment and infection control measures are therefore particularly important in these settings. Gastrointestinal infections can be caused by a large number of microorganisms. When symptoms indicate possible gastrointestinal infection, the diagnosis can be confirmed by laboratory tests used for culture or detection of antigen from stool samples. In certain cases (for example for E. coli, Salmonella, C. difficile, etc.), antibiotic sensitivity tests are used to determine the microbial resistance to antibiotic therapy, if necessary. In particular in hospitals, rapid diagnosis provides important information for the implementation of infection control measures.
