Different types of diarrhea?
1.Inflammatory-
a. Hemorrhagic - bloody
b. dysentery - mucus, blood, debris from inflam response, leukocytes/fibrin

2. Non-Inflammatory Diarrhea-
-watery, osmotic, mediated by endotoxins (some virus and some bact)
Non-Inflammatory diarrhea viruses?
-Rotavirus
-Calicivrius - Norovirus + Sapovirus
Non- Inflammatory diarrhea Parasites?
-all but entamoeba histolytica cause non inflam bact

-giardia
-cryptosporidium parvum
-isospora belli
-microsporidia
-cyclospora cayetanensis
Non-Inflammatory Diarrhea bacteria?
-vibrio cholerae
-ETEC enterotoxigenic escherichia colia

*exo and enterotoxins
Inflammatory diarrhea causes?
-campylobacter jejuni
-salmonella
-shiga toxin (STEC)
-clostridium difficile
-EIEC enteroinvasive E.coli
-Yersinia
-Vibrio parahaemolyticus
-entamoeba histolytica
Things that cause food poisoning?
-from preformed toxins
-staph aureus
-bacillus cereus
-clostridium perfringens
Viruses associated with Gastroenteritis?
Main 2: Rotavirus + norovirus

Others: sapovirus, astrovirus, adenovirus
Rotavirus vs. Norovirus
Rotavirus - young kids, very severe cases of gastroenteritis
-incubation: 1-4 days Duration: 5-8

Norovirus - all ages, not as severe
-Incubation: 1-2 days Duration: 1-3

Same Symptoms: abrupt onset watery diarrhea and vom in kids. no blood in stool. low fever, dehydration. Can spread virus even when asymp
Pathogenesis of viral gastroenteritis?
1. replication of enterocyytes in SI
2. lysis of infected cells --> get blunted intestinal villi...this leads to malabsoprtion
3. to counteract this, crypt cells divide to restore villi...but leads to hypersecretion - watery diarrhea
4. when virus leaves villi go back to normal, crypt cells resume normal secretion --> no more diarrhea
Clinical disease of Virus causing gastroenteritis?
-very localized
-IgA provides protection...re-infection is milder
-self resolving
vomiting associated with viral or bacterial?
viral
Ways to detect Virus?
1. Electron Microscopy - old method, not sensitive, hard
2. Serology - look for ab in serum, only lets you confirm something that already happened, good for outbreak tracking
3. Latex agglutination - for rotavirus
4. EIA - for norovirus, easy, quick, cheap, sensitive
5. RT-PCR - track outbreaks
6. Pulsed Field gel electrophoresis - look at same banding patterns in rna
Rotavirus features?
-ds RNA
-segmented
-triple shelled capsid
-VP2- inner capsid layer
-VP4 -P, attachment protein...elicits neut ab, target for vaccine
-VP6 - middle capsid layer..helps with subgroup..main is A
-VP7 - G, outer capsid layer...elicits neut ab
-NSP4 - viral enterotoxin, results in cl secretion which can affect uninfected cells

*genotype and serotype determined by VP7 and VP4
Major cause of acute diarrhea in kid <5
rotavirus
hypertrichosis多毛(症)
minoxidil, finasteride
Norovirus features
-rna, icosahedral, naked
-cant diagnose bc comes up negative
-VOMITING before diarrhea
-***most common cause nonbact gastroenteritis in old kids and adults
-first contaminated food/h20...then person to person - cruise ship, nursing home

-low infectious dose, asymp shed, withstands cl, cold, hot, strain diversity, lacks immunity
