Gastroenteritis is marked by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract involving both the stomach and small intestine, and resulting in diarrhoea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps. Globally, it is estimated that 3-5 billion cases of gastroenteritis occur yearly primarily affecting children and those in the developing world. In this book, the authors present research in the study of the epidemiology, management and prevention of gastroenteritis. Topics discussed include benign infantile convulsions associated with mild gastroenteritis; the etiologic agents of viral gastroenteritis; traveller's diarrhoea; and eosinophilic and E. coli gastroenteritis.
