INTRODUCTION
Acute Gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis is a catch all term for infection or irritation of the digestive tract, particularly the stomach and intestine. It is frequently referred to as the stomach or intestinal flu, although the influenza virus is not associated with this illness. Major symptoms include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. These symptoms are sometimes also accompanied by fever and overall weakness. Gastroenteritis typically lasts about three days. Adults usually recover without problem, but children, the elderly, and anyone with an underlying disease are more vulnerable to complications such as dehydration. Bacterial gastroenteritis is frequently a result of poor sanitation, the lack of safe drinking water, or contaminated foods. Common types of bacterial gastroenteritis can be linked to Salmonella and Campylobacter bacteria; however, Escherichia coli v and Listeria monocytogenes are creating increased concern in developed nations. Cholera and Shigella remain two diseases of great concern in developing countries, and research to develop long-term vaccines against them is underway. Gastroenteritis is an uncomfortable and inconvenient ailment. Numerous children are hospitalized with gastroenteritis symptoms in the Philippines. Of these children, most die as a result of severe dehydration.
II. Significance of the study:
This study will enable the students to understand better about acute gastroenteritis and will explain the different risk factors for developing
