Enteritis, Eunit

sectional enteritis), which helps to clarify the diagnosis and select effective treatment.

Enteritis and unit are diseases that belong to the group of enteritis, that is, diseases that are characterized by inflammation of the mucous membrane of the small intestine. These diseases can be acute or chronic, and they can be caused by various reasons.

Acute enteritis often includes gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach) and gastroenterocolitis (inflammation of the colon). Acute enteritis can be caused by infectious and viral causes, such as cholera, typhoid fever and salmonellosis, as well as nutritional causes, such as overeating spicy or rough foods, and toxic causes, such as poisoning by mushrooms or poisons.

The pathogenesis of acute enteritis can be due to the direct effect of a pathogenic pathogen on the mucous membrane of the small intestine or its hematogenous introduction into the intestinal vessels, and then a damaging effect on the mucous membrane. Predisposing factors to the occurrence of acute gastroenteritis are local cooling of the body, polyhypovitaminosis, abuse of foods rich in coarse fiber, and other factors.

Symptoms of acute enteritis may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rumbling in the abdomen, weakness, general malaise, cold sweat, fever and general intoxication. When palpating the abdomen, there is pain in the epigastric region and sometimes strong rumbling in the cecum. Moderate or severe leukocytosis and increased ESR are observed.

The differential diagnosis of acute enteritis is carried out primarily with acute intestinal infections, such as cholera, typhoid fever and food intoxication, as well as with general infectious and viral diseases that can occur with enteritis syndrome. The epidemiological history is of great importance.

Treatment of acute enteritis depends on its cause. If the disease is caused by infectious or viral causes, then antibiotics or antiviral drugs are used. If the disease is caused by nutritional reasons, then it is recommended to follow a diet and eat light food. If the disease is caused by toxic causes, then detoxification therapy is carried out. It is also important to keep your body hydrated and prevent dehydration by drinking enough fluids.

Chronic enteritis is a disease that occurs for a long time with inflammation of the mucous membrane of the small intestine. It can be caused by various reasons, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, toxic-allergic intestinal lesions, as well as various digestive and metabolic disorders.

Symptoms of chronic enteritis may include abdominal pain, epigastric pain, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, loss of appetite, weight loss, weakness, decreased performance and other general condition disorders.

Diagnosis of chronic enteritis includes colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, fibrogastroscopy, as well as laboratory and instrumental studies.

Treatment of chronic enteritis depends on its cause and may include the use of antibiotics, antidiarrheal drugs, drugs that improve digestion, as well as diet and nutrition. In severe cases, surgery may be required.

In general, enteritis is a fairly common disease and requires an integrated approach to diagnosis and treatment. If you suspect enteritis, it is recommended that you consult a doctor for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
