The most common cause of diarrhea serve viruses (adenoviruses, rotaviruses,
Norwalk viruses).
Viral diarrhea
Among various variances of viral diarrhea
Rotavirus etiology diarrhea has the greatest clinical significance
(the most frequent form of infectious diarrhea in children), diarrhea caused by
Norfolk virus, as well as adeno- and astroviruses. In a clinical picture
Viral diarrhea draws attention to the frequent combination of diarrhea and
Fever with dyspeptic disorders, and often (with rotavirus
diarrhea) and with the defeat of the upper respiratory tract. Diagnosis
confirmed when the virus is detected in feces using electronic
microscopy or when conducting special immunological
Research (for example, with monoclonal antibodies). Diaria flow
viral origin is usually favorable. Duration
Diseases do not exceed, as a rule, 35 days. Treatment is
symptomatic and reduces to the elimination of water and electrolyte disorders.
Diarrhea can develop with intestinal infections, various inflammatory bowel diseases (for example, with colitis),
Malaabsorption, alarm, as well as in the syndrome of stratum of colon.

diarrhea due to dysbacteriosis prescribed colibacterin,
Lactobacterin, Bificol, Bifidumbacterin.

relevance. In children, the leading etiological factor causing
Ostly infectious diarrhea, Rotavirus becomes. Most often
Rotavirus diarrhea is observed in children under 2 years in the form of sporadic
cases; Possible epidemics of rotavirus infection, more often in winter. W
Adults Rotavirus rarely turns out to be the causative agent of gastroenteritis and
