Acute Intestinal Infections. Lecturer: ass.prof. Gorishna I.L.
Etiology of Acute Intestinal Diseases • bacterial agents • Escherichia coli • Shigella, • Salmonella, • Campylobacter jejuni • Yersinia enterocolitica. • Clostridium difficile • Vibrio cholerae • enteroviruses (infectio enteroviralis) • Rotavirus • Coxsackie viruses • ECHO (Enteric Cytopathogenic Human Orphan) viruses • AstrovirusParvovirus - Parasites • Giardia lamblia • Cryptosporidium
Escherichia Coli Infection • is an acute infectious disease mainly of early age children, caused by different pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli(Enterotoxigenic, Enteropathogenic, Enteroinvasive, Enterohemorrhagic, Enteroaggregative)
Etiology • Escherichia coli, a facultatively anaerobic gram-negative bacillus, is a major component of the normal intestinal flora and ubiquitous in the human environment.
Transmission The way of transmission • Contact • Alimentary (by water, milk, • food)
Enterotoxigenic E.coli infection • Acute beginning from the repeated vomiting, watery diarrhea. • Intoxication is absent; body temperature is normal or subfebrile. • grumbling along thin intestine during palpation. • Feces 15-20 time per days, watery without pathological admixtures, of rice-water character. • Development of severe dehydration • Duration of the disease 5-10 days.
Lab Studies: • Routine stool cultures • Rapid enzyme immunoassays for E coli 0157:H7 • Stool test (koprogram): inflammatory changes, intestinal enzymopathy • Electrolyte changes in blood • Full blood count
Shigellosis (dysentery) • An acute human infectious diseases with enteral infection that is characterized by colitic syndrome and symptoms of general intoxication, quite often with development of primary neurotoxicosis.
Etiology of Shigella Infection • Shigella dysenteriae • Shigella sonnei • Shigella flexneri • Shigella boydii
Transmission Shigella is spread through fecal-oral mechanism of transmission. The way of transmission • Contact • Alimentary • Watery
Classification of Shigella Infection • Clinical Form • With dominance of toxicosis • with dominance of local inflammation • Severity (mild, moderate and severe) • Course • acute (up to 1.5 mo) • subacute (up to 3 mo) • chronic (about 3 mo) • recurrent • constantly recurring IV. Complicated or uncomplicated V. Bacterium carrying
With dominance of local inflammation • Sudden onset of high-grade fever • abdominal cramping • abdominal pain, • tenesmus, • and large-volume watery diarrhea → • fecal incontinence, and small-volume mucoid diarrhea with frank blood
Lab Studies: • The white blood cell count is often within reference range, with a high percentage of bands. Occasionally, leukopenia or leukemoid reactions may be detected. • If HUS, anemia and thrombocytopenia occur. • Stool examination • Increasing of red blood sells and leukocytes • Stool culture • Specimens should be plated lightly onto MacConkey, xylose-lysine-deoxycholate, or eosin-methylene blue agars. • Serological test in dynamics with fourfold title increasing in 10-14 days
Salmonellosis • an acute infectious disease of human and animals, that is caused by the numerous strains of Salmonella and more frequent courses as gastro-intestinal, rare – as typhoid or septic form
Classification • Local form • Gastrointestinal form • Bacterium carrying • General form • Like typhoid fever • Sepsis • Asymptomatic form • Severity (mild, moderate and severe) • Course • acute (up to 1.5 mo) • subacute (up to 3 mo) • chronic (about 3 mo) IV. Complicated or uncomplicated
Lab Studies: • Complete blood count with differential • Cultures: fecal, blood, urine, or bone marrow. • Stools examination: hemoccult positive and positive for fecal polymorphonuclear cells. • Chemistry: Electrolyte tests may reveal abnormalities consistent with dehydration. • Serologic tests in dynamics with fourfold title increasing in 10-14 days
Breast feeding • In infants breast feeding must continue, those, who are bottle feeding – receive adopted milk formulas, better with low lactose content
Probiotics • during acute period and for 3-4 weeks in the recovery period
Enterosorption • For 5-7 days, in case of stools normalization or constipation development enterosorption should be discontinued. • Smecta • Enterosgel • Polysorb
