Report on Etiological structure and epidemiology of the acute intestinal infections.
Pathogenesis of
dearrhoeas caused by infectious agents.
- Acute intestinal infections can be due to bacteria, virus, parasitic, toxic or nonspecific/uncertain in etiology.
Factors influencing the growth of bacteria (a) Bacterial features -1) Size of Inoculum - Eg (1) Salmonella 105
(2) V.
cholorea, E-coli 108
(3) Shigella 10 -100 bacteria (4) Giadria, Entamoeba 10-100 cysts
2) Intestinal adherence factors - Eg, V.
cholerae - Toxin co-regulated Pilus (TOP)
ETEC - colonization factor antigen (CFA) EPEC - virulance determinants EHEC - Fimbriae
3) Toxin production – (a) Enterotoxins - produces secretory watery dearrhoea
Eg, I V.
cholerae toxin composed of A&B subunit.
B subunit binds to enterocyte - to ganglioside GMI
receptors& thus a subunit which enters the enterocyteactivates adenyl cyclase increase cAMP increase Cl
secretion & decrease Na+ absorption from intestinal mucosaeFluid accumila
