Enteritis Infectious

Enteritis is an infectious disease of the intestine.

Infectious enteritis is an acute and severe general human disease that is caused by a specific pathogen. The infection typically has an acute onset; most patients experience complete recovery. However, in severe cases, the disease can take a chronic course or result in the death of the patient. In general, despite the specificity of the etiology, the pathogenesis and clinical picture of infectious enteritis vary significantly depending on the specific causative agent of the disease. These are not all microorganisms that can cause enteritis. The infectious agent can be a parasitic protozoan that produces toxins. The pathological basis of the disease is inflammatory damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Liver dystrophy, pancreatitis, and heart failure can develop as complications of the infectious process.
