Diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the organs from mouth to anus, along the alimentary canal, are the focus of this specialty. Physicians practicing in this field of medicine are called gastroenterologists.
Bacterial gastroenteritis is a very common disorder. It has many causes, can range from mild to severe, and usually manifests with symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Other causes of some of these symptoms include viral infections, improper diet, malabsorption syndromes, various enteropathies, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Bacterial gastroenteritis is usually self-limited, but improper management of an acute infection can lead to a protracted course. By far, the most common complication is dehydration.
