Infectious and parasitic diseases

Escherichiosis (coli infection)

Escherichiosis (syn. Escherichioses, coli-infection, coli-enteritis, traveler's diarrhea) is a group of bacterial anthroponous infectious diseases caused by pathogenic (diarrhea) E. Coli strains taking place with symptoms of general intoxication and gastrointestinal lesions.

Treatment of dysentery

In case of severe and moderate shigellosis, bedding is shown, with a light - ward regime. In the acute period, with significant intestinal disorders, table No. 4 is prescribed for Pevzner.

Diagnosis of shigellosis (bacterial dysentery)

Clinically, the diagnosis of shigellosis can be established only in cases of a typical colitis variant of the course of the disease. To clarify the diagnosis in unconfirmed laboratory cases, a sigmoidoscopy is performed, which in all cases of shigellosis reveals a picture of colitis (catarrhal, hemorrhagic or erosive-ulcerative) with lesions of the mucous membrane of the distal colon, often sphincteritis.

Shigellosis (bacterial dysentery) symptoms

The incubation period for acute shigellosis in most cases is limited to 2-5 days. The duration of the disease is from several days to 3 months, shigellosis lasting more than 3 months is regarded as chronic.

What causes shigellosis (bacterial dysentery)?

Shigella - Gram-negative fixed sticks, facultative aerobes. The Grigoriev-Shigi rod forms shigitoxin (exotoxin), the remaining species contain thermolabile endotoxin-LPS. The smallest infecting dose is characteristic of the bacteria Grigoriev-Shigi, the big one for bacteria

Shigellosis (bacterial dysentery)

Shigellosis (bacterial dysentery, Shigellosis, dysenterya) is an acute infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Shigella with a fecal-oral mechanism of transmission of the pathogen and characterized by a picture of distal colitis and intoxication.

Treatment of salmonellosis in adults

The length of stay in a hospital with a localized form is up to 14 days, with a generalized form - 28-30 days. The extract is performed after a clinical recovery and a negative result of bacteriological examination of the stool, which is carried out 2 days after the end of treatment.

Diagnosis of salmonellosis in adults

Without confirmation of the diagnosis by laboratory tests, differential diagnostics of salmonella with foodborne toxic infections presents great difficulties.

Salmonellosis symptoms in adults

Salmonella has an incubation period that lasts from 6 hours to 3 days (more often 12-24 hours); with nosocomial outbreaks is extended to 3-8 days. After this period, typical symptoms of salmonellosis appear.

What causes salmonellosis in adults?

Salmonella - gram-negative rods of the genus Salmonella family Enterobacteriaceae. There are two types of salmonella - S. Enterica and S. Bongori. Not pathogenic to humans. There are 2324 serovars, divided by a set of somatic O-antigens into 46 serogroups. In addition to somatic thermostable O-antigen, salmonella have flagellum thermolabile H-antigen.
