Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is a common disease within the population. Most cases are self-limited. However, intensive treatment is sometimes necessary to ensure patient integrity. This disease is characterized by vomiting and/or diarrhea with blood or mucus, discomfort, fever, and nonspecific abdominal pain. Commonly involved pathogens in the developed world include: viruses, bacteria, and parasites. In this paper we report a rare cause of AGE.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
