  31. Case Presentation Salient Features, Admitting Impression, Differentials, Course in the Ward

  33. Admitting Impression • Acute Gastroenteritis, probably viral, with no signs of dehydration

  37. Differential Diagnosis

  38. Differential Diagnosis

  39. Diagnostic and Therapeutic Plan • Diagnostic • CBC with platelet count • Blood chemistry (sodium and potassium) • Urinalysis • Fecalysis • Therapeutic • IV for Hydration • Increased oral hydration • Antipyretics • Zinc supplementation • Probiotics

  40. Course in the Ward 1st Hospital Day

  41. Course in the Ward 1st Hospital Day

  42. Course in the Ward 2nd Hospital Day

  43. Case Discussion

  44. Definition • Infections of the gastrointestinal tract caused by bacterial, viral, or parasitic pathogens • Diarrheal disorders • Term used in public health setting • Diarrhea • 3 or more unusually watery stools passed in 24 hours WHO – Treatment of Diarrhea

  45. Etiology > 3 years old • Viral • Rotavirus • Enteric adenovirus • Astrovirus • Norovirus • Calicivirus • E. coli, Salmonella

  46. Epidemiology • 18% of childhood deaths • >700 million episodes of diarrhea annually • < 5 years old (WHO) • Philippines • 2nd leading cause of morbidity • 6th leading cause of mortality for all ages • 3rd leading cause of infant deaths • Predominance of rotavirus and enterotoxigenicE. coli Nelson/ Carlos and Saniel, Etiology and Epidemiology of Diarrhea (1990)

  47. Manifestation • Most common • Diarrhea • Vomiting • May also have systemic symptoms • Abdominal pain • fever

  48. Clinical types of Diarrhea • Acute watery diarrhea • Several hours to days • Acute bloody diarrhea • Persistent diarrhea • > 14 days • Diarrhea with severe malnutrition

  49. Pathophysiology NSP4 cause release Ca2+ intracellularly Enters villi and releases viral proteins (NSP4) Feca-oral route Paracellular flow of water and electrolytes NSP4 produced disrupts tight junctions Virus infects adjacent cell Ramig (2004), Pathogenesis of intestinal and systemic rotavirus infection
