Biegunka i wymioty
Etiologia i przyczyny

Biegunka i wymioty są powszechnymi objawami o złożonej etiologii, najczęściej wynikającymi z infekcji przewodu pokarmowego, w tym wirusowych (75-90% przypadków, głównie norowirusy i rotawirusy), bakteryjnych (10-25%, m.in. E. coli, Campylobacter, Salmonella) oraz pasożytniczych (około 10%, np. Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium). Objawy pojawiają się zwykle nagle, w ciągu 24-48 godzin od ekspozycji, i obejmują wodnistą biegunkę, wymioty, ból brzucha oraz gorączkę. Mechanizmy patofizjologiczne obejmują zwiększoną sekrecję, zaburzenia wchłaniania, proces zapalny i przyspieszoną motorykę jelit, a wymioty są kontrolowane przez ośrodek wymiotny w pniu mózgu. Poza infekcjami, przyczynami mogą być leki (antybiotyki, NLPZ, chemioterapeutyki), nietolerancje pokarmowe (laktoza, fruktoza), alergie, choroby przewlekłe (IBS, IBD, celiakia), stres, ciąża, zatrucia pokarmowe oraz inne czynniki. Epidemiologicznie rotawirus odpowiada za 37% zgonów z powodu biegunki u dzieci <5 lat, a norowirus jest główną przyczyną gastroenteritis u dorosłych.

Etiologia, przyczyny biegunki i wymiotów

Biegunka i wymioty to powszechne objawy, które mogą występować jednocześnie i dotykać osoby w każdym wieku, od niemowląt po osoby dorosłe. Objawy te mogą być spowodowane przez wiele różnych czynników, przy czym najczęstszą przyczyną są infekcje przewodu pokarmowego.12 W większości przypadków epizody biegunki i wymiotów są krótkotrwałe i ustępują samoistnie, jednak w niektórych sytuacjach mogą wskazywać na poważniejsze schorzenia wymagające interwencji medycznej.3

Infekcje jako główna przyczyna biegunki i wymiotów

Najczęstszą przyczyną jednoczesnego występowania biegunki i wymiotów są infekcje przewodu pokarmowego, określane mianem zapalenia żołądka i jelit (gastroenteritis).45 Zapalenie żołądkowo-jelitowe to stan zapalny błony śluzowej żołądka i jelit, który może być wywołany przez różne patogeny.6

Infekcje wirusowe

Wirusy stanowią najczęstszą przyczynę ostrej biegunki i wymiotów, odpowiadając za około 75-90% przypadków gastroenteritis.78 Do najważniejszych wirusów wywołujących te objawy należą:

Zakażenia wirusowe przewodu pokarmowego charakteryzują się nagłym początkiem, zazwyczaj w ciągu 24-48 godzin od ekspozycji. Objawy występują w postaci wymiotów, wodnistej biegunki, często z towarzyszącym bólem brzucha i gorączką.1819

Infekcje bakteryjne

Bakterie odpowiadają za około 10-25% przypadków ostrego zapalenia żołądka i jelit. Do najczęstszych bakterii wywołujących biegunkę i wymioty należą:2021

Zakażenia bakteryjne mogą powodować bardziej nasilone objawy niż infekcje wirusowe, często z gorączką i możliwością wystąpienia krwi w stolcu. Bakteryjne zapalenie żołądka i jelit może trwać dłużej niż wirusowe.3334

Infekcje pasożytnicze

Pasożyty odpowiadają za około 10% przypadków biegunki, szczególnie u osób podróżujących lub przy długotrwałych objawach. Najczęstsze pasożyty wywołujące biegunkę i wymioty to:3536

Infekcje pasożytnicze mogą rozwijać się wolniej niż wirusowe czy bakteryjne i często powodują przewlekłą biegunkę z towarzyszącymi wymiotami, szczególnie po podróży do obszarów o niskim poziomie higieny.4344

Zatrucia pokarmowe

Zatrucia pokarmowe to infekcje przewodu pokarmowego wywołane spożyciem zanieczyszczonej żywności lub wody. Mogą być spowodowane przez bakterie, wirusy, pasożyty lub toksyny bakteryjne.4546

Zatrucia pokarmowe charakteryzują się zazwyczaj nagłym początkiem objawów, często w ciągu kilku godzin od spożycia skażonej żywności. Typowe objawy obejmują:4748

  • Wodnistą biegunkę
  • Nudności i wymioty
  • Skurcze i bóle brzucha
  • Gorączkę
  • Dreszcze
  • Ból głowy

Najczęstsze przyczyny zatruć pokarmowych to nieprawidłowo przechowywana lub przygotowana żywność, szczególnie:4950

  • Surowe lub niedogotowane mięso, zwłaszcza drób
  • Niepasteryzowane produkty mleczne
  • Surowe jaja
  • Owoce morza, szczególnie surowe lub niedogotowane ostrygi
  • Zanieczyszczona woda pitna
  • Niedostatecznie umyte owoce i warzywa

Bakterie odpowiedzialne za zatrucia pokarmowe mogą bezpośrednio infekować przewód pokarmowy lub wytwarzać toksyny, które powodują objawy. Na przykład, niektóre szczepy Staphylococcus aureus wytwarzają toksyny, które mogą spowodować objawy zatrucia pokarmowego w ciągu kilku godzin od spożycia.5152

Biegunka podróżnych

Biegunka podróżnych to zaburzenie przewodu pokarmowego występujące u osób podróżujących, szczególnie do krajów o niższym standardzie sanitarnym. Jest zwykle powodowana przez bakterie, wirusy lub pasożyty obecne w zanieczyszczonej wodzie lub żywności.5354

Najczęstszym czynnikiem etiologicznym biegunki podróżnych są szczepy enterotoksykogenne Escherichia coli (ETEC), odpowiadające za większość przypadków.5556 Inne patogeny obejmują Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella oraz pasożyty, takie jak Giardia lamblia i Cryptosporidium.57

Biegunka podróżnych charakteryzuje się nagłym wystąpieniem wodnistej biegunki, często z towarzyszącymi nudnościami, wymiotami, bólami brzucha i gorączką. Objawy zazwyczaj pojawiają się w ciągu pierwszego tygodnia podróży i trwają 3-7 dni.58

Nieinfekcyjne przyczyny biegunki i wymiotów

Choć większość przypadków jednoczesnego występowania biegunki i wymiotów ma podłoże infekcyjne, istnieje wiele przyczyn nieinfekcyjnych, które mogą prowadzić do tych objawów.59

Leki i efekty uboczne farmakoterapii

Wiele leków może powodować biegunkę i wymioty jako efekty uboczne. Do najczęstszych należą:6061

  • Antybiotyki – mogą zaburzać równowagę flory bakteryjnej jelit, prowadząc do nadmiernego wzrostu patogennych bakterii, w tym Clostridioides difficile6263
  • Niesteroidowe leki przeciwzapalne (NLPZ) – mogą drażnić błonę śluzową żołądka i jelit64
  • Leki przeciwnowotworowe (chemioterapeutyki) – powodują nudności, wymioty i biegunkę poprzez działanie na szybko dzielące się komórki błony śluzowej przewodu pokarmowego6566
  • Metformina – lek stosowany w leczeniu cukrzycy typu 267
  • Środki przeczyszczające – przy nadużywaniu mogą prowadzić do biegunki68
  • Leki na nadciśnienie69
  • Niektóre leki przeciwdepresyjne70
  • Inhibitory pompy protonowej71

Biegunka występująca po antybiotykoterapii może rozpocząć się w trakcie leczenia lub do 10 tygodni po jego zakończeniu. Związana jest zazwyczaj ze zmianą składu flory jelitowej i nadmiernym wzrostem niektórych bakterii patogennych.7273

Nietolerancje pokarmowe i alergie

Nietolerancje pokarmowe i alergie mogą prowadzić do biegunki i wymiotów w wyniku nieprawidłowych reakcji układu pokarmowego lub immunologicznego na określone składniki żywności.7475

Najczęstsze nietolerancje pokarmowe obejmują:

  • Nietolerancję laktozy – niezdolność do prawidłowego trawienia cukru mlecznego (laktozy) z powodu niedoboru enzymu laktazy, prowadząca do biegunki, wzdęć i bólów brzucha po spożyciu produktów mlecznych7677
  • Nietolerancję fruktozy – trudności w przyswajaniu fruktozy, powodujące biegunkę i dyskomfort po spożyciu owoców, miodu czy produktów słodzonych syropem glukozowo-fruktozowym78
  • Nietolerancję nieabsorbowalnych cukrów (sorbitol, erytrytol, mannitol) – stosowanych jako sztuczne słodziki w gumach do żucia i innych produktach bezcukrowych79
  • Celiakię – autoimmunologiczną reakcję na gluten zawarty w pszenicy, życie i jęczmieniu, prowadzącą do zapalenia i uszkodzenia błony śluzowej jelita cienkiego8081

Alergie pokarmowe, w przeciwieństwie do nietolerancji, angażują układ immunologiczny i mogą powodować reakcje systemowe. Alergeny pokarmowe najczęściej wywołujące objawy ze strony przewodu pokarmowego to:8283

  • Mleko krowie
  • Jaja
  • Orzechy
  • Skorupiaki i owoce morza
  • Pszenica
  • Soja

Reakcje alergiczne mogą prowadzić do nudności, wymiotów i biegunki, a w ciężkich przypadkach do anafilaksji – zagrażającej życiu reakcji systemowej.84

Choroby i zaburzenia przewlekłe

Wiele przewlekłych schorzeń może manifestować się biegunką i wymiotami, szczególnie choroby przewodu pokarmowego:8586

  • Zespół jelita drażliwego (IBS) – zaburzenie czynnościowe jelit charakteryzujące się nawracającym bólem brzucha, wzdęciami oraz zmianami rytmu wypróżnień (biegunka, zaparcia lub naprzemienne występowanie obu)8788
  • Nieswoiste zapalenia jelit (IBD) – grupa chorób autoimmunologicznych obejmująca chorobę Leśniowskiego-Crohna i wrzodziejące zapalenie jelita grubego, charakteryzujące się przewlekłym stanem zapalnym przewodu pokarmowego8990
  • Mikroskopowe zapalenie jelita grubego – zapalna choroba jelit niewidoczna podczas badania endoskopowego, ale wykrywalna w badaniu mikroskopowym91
  • Zaburzenia wchłaniania kwasów żółciowych – zakłócenie cyklu dystrybucji kwasów żółciowych w organizmie92
  • Zespoły złego wchłaniania – zaburzenia, w których organizm nie może prawidłowo wchłaniać składników odżywczych z pożywienia9394
  • Choroby trzustki – w tym niewydolność zewnątrzwydzielnicza trzustki, gdy organ ten nie produkuje wystarczającej ilości enzymów trawiennych95
  • Nadczynność tarczycy – może przyspieszać perystaltykę jelit i prowadzić do biegunki9697
  • Nowotwory – niektóre nowotwory przewodu pokarmowego mogą objawiać się biegunką i wymiotami9899

Choroby przebiegające z obturacją lub zwężeniem przewodu pokarmowego mogą również powodować wymioty i biegunkę:100

  • Zapalenie wyrostka robaczkowego – może powodować wymioty i biegunkę, szczególnie we wczesnej fazie101102
  • Niedrożność jelit – może być spowodowana zrostami, przepukliną, wgłobieniem jelit lub guzami103
  • Zwężenie odźwiernika – zwężenie kanału między żołądkiem a jelitem, szczególnie istotne u niemowląt104105

Stres i czynniki psychologiczne

Istnieje silny związek między układem nerwowym a przewodem pokarmowym, często określany jako „oś jelitowo-mózgowa”. Stres i silne emocje mogą wpływać na funkcjonowanie przewodu pokarmowego, prowadząc do biegunki i wymiotów.106107

Mechanizm działania stresu na przewód pokarmowy obejmuje:108109

  • Aktywację reakcji „walki lub ucieczki”, która uwalnia hormony stresu, takie jak adrenalina i kortyzol
  • Przekierowanie krwi z układu pokarmowego do mięśni i narządów kluczowych dla reakcji stresowej
  • Przyspieszenie perystaltyki jelit, co może prowadzić do biegunki
  • Skurcze mięśni żołądka mogące prowadzić do nudności i wymiotów

Stres i lęk mogą również nasilać objawy istniejących już chorób przewodu pokarmowego, takich jak zespół jelita drażliwego czy nieswoiste zapalenia jelit.110111

Inne przyczyny biegunki i wymiotów

Istnieje wiele innych czynników, które mogą prowadzić do jednoczesnego występowania biegunki i wymiotów:112113

  • Ciąża – nudności i wymioty ciążowe (tzw. poranne mdłości) mogą być związane ze zmianami hormonalnymi, nowymi wrażliwościami na żywność oraz zmianami diety114115
  • Nadmierne spożycie alkoholu – alkohol może drażnić błonę śluzową żołądka i jelit, prowadząc do zapalenia (gastritis) oraz biegunki116117
  • Przejedzenie – nadmierne spożycie, szczególnie tłustych i słodkich pokarmów, może prowadzić do biegunki i wymiotów118119
  • Radioterapia – szczególnie gdy skierowana jest na jamę brzuszną, miednicę lub odbytnicę, może powodować zapalenie jelit (enteritis popromienne)120121
  • Zabiegi chirurgiczne – resekcja dużych fragmentów przewodu pokarmowego może prowadzić do biegunki122
  • Zespół poposiłkowy (dumping syndrome) – zaburzenie relacji jelitowo-mózgowych123
  • Migrena brzuszna – odmiana migreny, w której ból koncentruje się w żołądku zamiast w głowie124
  • Zatrucie metalami ciężkimi – na przykład zatrucie ołowiem może prowadzić do gastroenteritis125
  • COVID-19 – infekcja SARS-CoV-2 może objawiać się objawami żołądkowo-jelitowymi, w tym biegunką i wymiotami126127

Mechanizmy powstawania biegunki i wymiotów

Zrozumienie mechanizmów patofizjologicznych leżących u podstaw biegunki i wymiotów pozwala lepiej zrozumieć, dlaczego te objawy często występują razem podczas infekcji przewodu pokarmowego.128

Patofizjologia biegunki

Biegunka występuje, gdy w jelitach nie zostaje usunięta wystarczająca ilość wody ze stolca lub gdy do stolca wydzielana jest nadmierna ilość płynów, co prowadzi do luźnych, wodnistych wypróżnień.129130

Główne mechanizmy prowadzące do biegunki obejmują:131

  • Zwiększoną sekrecję – niektóre patogeny (np. enterotoksykogenne E. coli, Vibrio cholerae) wytwarzają toksyny, które stymulują sekrecję wody i elektrolitów do światła jelita132
  • Zaburzenia wchłaniania – uszkodzenie komórek nabłonka jelita przez patogeny (np. rotawirusy, Giardia) zmniejsza powierzchnię wchłaniania wody i składników odżywczych133
  • Proces zapalny – patogeny inwazyjne (np. Shigella, Salmonella) wnikają do błony śluzowej jelita, wywołując zapalenie i uszkodzenie tkanek, co może prowadzić do krwawej biegunki134
  • Zwiększoną motorykę – przyspieszona perystaltyka jelitowa zmniejsza czas na wchłanianie wody i składników odżywczych135

Patofizjologia wymiotów

Wymioty są złożonym, skoordynowanym procesem, który prowadzi do gwałtownego opróżnienia zawartości żołądka. Proces ten jest kontrolowany przez ośrodek wymiotny w pniu mózgu, który reaguje na różne bodźce.136137

Mechanizmy prowadzące do wymiotów obejmują:138

  • Stymulację chemoreceptorów – toksyny bakteryjne, wirusowe czy leki mogą aktywować strefę wyzwalającą chemoreceptorów w dnie czwartej komory mózgu
  • Podrażnienie przewodu pokarmowego – patogeny, zapalenie lub obecność toksyn mogą stymulować receptory w przewodzie pokarmowym, wysyłając sygnały do ośrodka wymiotnego
  • Odruch obronny – gdy żołądek wykrywa obecność potencjalnie szkodliwych substancji, może zareagować wymiotami jako mechanizmem obronnym139

Kiedy przewód pokarmowy jest drażniony lub narażony na coś potencjalnie szkodliwego dla zdrowia, nerwy przekazują sygnały do układu, aby jak najszybciej usunął zawartość. Wymioty, biegunka lub obie te reakcje są wynikiem tego procesu.140141

Znaczenie mechanizmu obronnnego

Warto podkreślić, że zarówno biegunka, jak i wymioty są przede wszystkim mechanizmami obronnymi organizmu, mającymi na celu eliminację patogenów lub toksyn z przewodu pokarmowego.142143

  • Wymioty pomagają usunąć szkodliwe substancje ze żołądka, zanim zostaną wchłonięte144
  • Biegunka umożliwia szybsze usuwanie patogenów z jelit, ograniczając ich kontakt z błoną śluzową i zmniejszając możliwość inwazji145

Ten obronny charakter objawów jest istotnym czynnikiem w podejściu terapeutycznym – w większości przypadków ostrych infekcji przewodu pokarmowego leczenie jest głównie objawowe i wspierające, pozwalając organizmowi na samoistne zwalczenie infekcji.146

Powikłania biegunki i wymiotów

Chociaż biegunka i wymioty są zazwyczaj samoograniczającymi się objawami, mogą prowadzić do poważnych powikłań, szczególnie u osób z grup ryzyka, takich jak niemowlęta, małe dzieci, osoby starsze i pacjenci z osłabionym układem odpornościowym.147148

Odwodnienie

Odwodnienie jest najczęstszym i najbardziej niebezpiecznym powikłaniem biegunki i wymiotów. Występuje, gdy organizm traci więcej płynów niż przyjmuje, co prowadzi do zaburzenia równowagi wodno-elektrolitowej.149150

Objawy odwodnienia u niemowląt i dzieci obejmują:151

  • Uporczywe pragnienie
  • Oddawanie moczu rzadziej niż zwykle
  • Suche usta
  • Zapadnięte oczy lub policzki
  • Zmniejszone napięcie skóry
  • Brak energii
  • Brak łez podczas płaczu

Objawy odwodnienia u dorosłych obejmują:152

  • Ekstremalne pragnienie
  • Oddawanie moczu rzadziej niż zwykle
  • Suche usta
  • Zapadnięte oczy lub policzki
  • Zmniejszone napięcie skóry
  • Zmęczenie
  • Zawroty głowy
  • Ciemny mocz

Ciężkie odwodnienie może prowadzić do spadku ciśnienia krwi, zmniejszonego przepływu krwi do narządów, niewydolności nerek, a w skrajnych przypadkach nawet do śmierci.153154

Zaburzenia elektrolitowe

Biegunka i wymioty mogą prowadzić do utraty nie tylko wody, ale także istotnych elektrolitów, takich jak:155

  • Sód (Na+)
  • Potas (K+)
  • Chlor (Cl-)
  • Wodorowęglany (HCO3-)

Zaburzenia elektrolitowe mogą powodować szereg objawów, takich jak:156

  • Osłabienie mięśni
  • Skurcze mięśni
  • Zaburzenia rytmu serca
  • Drgawki
  • Zmiany stanu świadomości

Niedożywienie i zaburzenia wchłaniania

Przewlekła biegunka może prowadzić do niedożywienia z powodu:157158

  • Zmniejszonego wchłaniania składników odżywczych z żywności
  • Przyspieszonego pasażu treści pokarmowej przez jelita
  • Zmniejszonego przyjmowania pokarmów z powodu braku apetytu

Szczególnie narażone na niedożywienie związane z biegunką są dzieci poniżej 5 roku życia. Każdy epizod biegunki może pogłębiać niedożywienie, co z kolei osłabia odporność i zwiększa podatność na kolejne infekcje, tworząc błędne koło.159

Inne powikłania

Inne potencjalne powikłania związane z biegunką i wymiotami to:160161

  • Wtórna nietolerancja laktozy – może wystąpić po epizodzie gastroenteritis, gdy błona śluzowa jelita zostaje uszkodzona162
  • Zespół jelita drażliwego – może być wywołany lub zaostrzony przez ostrą infekcję przewodu pokarmowego (tzw. poinfekcyjny IBS)163
  • Zespół hemolityczno-mocznicowy – rzadkie, ale poważne powikłanie infekcji enterokrwotocznymi szczepami E. coli164
  • Rozdarcie błony śluzowej przełyku (zespół Mallory’ego-Weissa) – może wystąpić przy intensywnych, powtarzających się wymiotach165
  • Aspiracja – zachłyśnięcie wymiocinami może prowadzić do zapalenia płuc166

Wczesne rozpoznanie i odpowiednie leczenie biegunki i wymiotów może zapobiec większości tych powikłań.167

Czynniki ryzyka i epidemiologia

Biegunka i wymioty są powszechnymi objawami, które mogą dotyczyć osób w każdym wieku, ale niektóre grupy populacji są szczególnie narażone na ich wystąpienie i powikłania.168169

Grupy szczególnego ryzyka

Następujące grupy są szczególnie narażone na rozwój ciężkiej biegunki i wymiotów oraz związanych z nimi powikłań:170171

  • Niemowlęta i małe dzieci – mają niedojrzały układ odpornościowy i bardziej podatne są na odwodnienie z powodu mniejszych rezerw płynów w organizmie172
  • Osoby starsze – mają zmniejszoną rezerwę fizjologiczną i często współistniejące choroby173
  • Osoby z osłabionym układem odpornościowym – w tym pacjenci z HIV/AIDS, osoby po przeszczepach, pacjenci onkologiczni174
  • Osoby przewlekle chore – szczególnie z chorobami przewodu pokarmowego, cukrzycą, niewydolnością nerek175
  • Podróżujący – szczególnie do regionów o niskim standardzie sanitarnym176
  • Kobiety w ciąży – z powodu fizjologicznych zmian w układzie odpornościowym i przewodzie pokarmowym177

Czynniki ryzyka infekcji

Czynniki zwiększające ryzyko infekcyjnych przyczyn biegunki i wymiotów obejmują:178179

  • Ekspozycja na zanieczyszczoną żywność lub wodę – w tym nieprawidłowo przechowywane, przygotowane lub niedogotowane pokarmy180
  • Bliski kontakt z osobą zakażoną – szczególnie w placówkach zbiorowego zamieszkania, żłobkach, szpitalach czy na statkach wycieczkowych181
  • Niski poziom higieny – w tym niedostateczne mycie rąk po korzystaniu z toalety lub przed przygotowywaniem posiłków182
  • Podróże do regionów endemicznych – szczególnie obszarów o niskim poziomie sanitarnym183
  • Kontakt ze zwierzętami – szczególnie młodymi psami/kotami (Campylobacter) czy żółwiami (Salmonella)184
  • Niedawna antybiotykoterapia – zwiększająca ryzyko infekcji Clostridioides difficile185
  • Korzystanie z publicznych basenów – mogących być źródłem infekcji pasożytniczych, takich jak Cryptosporidium186

Epidemiologia

Epidemiologia biegunki i wymiotów pokazuje globalny wymiar problemu:187188

  • Rotawirus jest wiodącą pojedynczą przyczyną gastroenteritis u dzieci na całym świecie, odpowiedzialną za 37% zgonów związanych z biegunką u dzieci poniżej 5 roku życia189
  • Norowirus jest najczęstszą przyczyną zatruć pokarmowych na świecie oraz wiodącą przyczyną gastroenteritis u dorosłych190191
  • W krajach rozwiniętych, patogeny bakteryjne odpowiadają za stosunkowo niewielki odsetek (około 2-10%) wszystkich przypadków gastroenteritis u dzieci192
  • W krajach rozwijających się, enterotoksykogenne szczepy E. coli (ETEC) pozostają najważniejszą bakteryjną przyczyną ostrego zapalenia żołądka i jelit u dzieci193
  • Gastroenteritis jest najczęściej zgłaszaną chorobą związaną z podróżami w Anglii i Walii194

Sezonowość również odgrywa rolę w epidemiologii biegunki i wymiotów – niektóre patogeny, jak rotawirus, wykazują tendencję do zwiększonej aktywności w miesiącach zimowych w klimacie umiarkowanym.195

Podsumowanie przyczyn biegunki i wymiotów

Biegunka i wymioty to objawy o złożonej etiologii, które często występują jednocześnie. Główne przyczyny ich jednoczesnego występowania to infekcje przewodu pokarmowego (wirusowe, bakteryjne, pasożytnicze), zatrucia pokarmowe, leki i efekty uboczne farmakoterapii, nietolerancje pokarmowe i alergie, choroby przewlekłe, stres i czynniki psychologiczne oraz inne przyczyny jak ciąża czy nadmierna konsumpcja alkoholu.196197

Mimo że większość przypadków ostrych epizodów biegunki i wymiotów ustępuje samoistnie w ciągu kilku dni, objawy te mogą prowadzić do poważnych powikłań, takich jak odwodnienie, zaburzenia elektrolitowe czy niedożywienie. Szczególnie narażone są niemowlęta, małe dzieci, osoby starsze i pacjenci z osłabionym układem odpornościowym.198199

Zrozumienie przyczyn biegunki i wymiotów jest kluczowe dla właściwego postępowania diagnostyczno-terapeutycznego oraz wdrażania skutecznych działań profilaktycznych, takich jak szczepienia przeciwko rotawirusom, odpowiednia higiena osobista, bezpieczne przygotowywanie i przechowywanie żywności oraz właściwe nawodnienie.200201

Intestinal viruses account for at least 10%25% of illnesses and are more commonly associated with vomiting. The use of multiplex molecular diagnostic assays has suggested that the contribution of viruses to the overall burden of TD disease is underestimated. Infections with protozoal pathogens are slower to manifest symptoms and collectively account for approximately 10% of diagnoses, predominantly in longer-term travelers.
