This section header slide, titled "Definition," introduces Section 01 on the Definition of Gastroenteritis. The subtitle defines it as inflammation of the stomach and intestines causing diarrhea and vomiting.
01
Inflammation of the stomach and intestines causing diarrhea and vomiting.
Pediatric gastroenteritis is often viral (rotavirus, norovirus, adenovirus), causing severe dehydration from high fluid loss, frequent vomiting, rapid progression, and higher hospitalization risk in young children. Adult cases are commonly bacterial (Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli) or toxin-related, featuring milder symptoms, less dehydration, diarrhea focus, and links to travel or contaminated food.
| Pediatric | Adult |
|---|---|
| Often viral (rotavirus, norovirus, adenovirus). Severe dehydration due to high fluid loss relative to body size, frequent vomiting, and rapid progression. Higher hospitalization risk in young children. | Commonly bacterial (Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli) or foodborne toxins. Milder symptoms, less dehydration, more diarrhea-focused. Often linked to travel, contaminated food, or outbreaks. |
This slide offers an overview of gastroenteritis as acute inflammation of the stomach and intestines. It highlights symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fever, notes higher severity in pediatrics, and uses icons for key features.

This slide serves as the section header for "Epidemiology." Its subtitle highlights global incidence and risk factors by age group.
Global incidence, risk factors by age group.
Epidemiology Stats slide reports 1.5 billion pediatric cases and 500 million adult cases annually, with a high global burden in children. Children under 5 years are the high mortality group, marking the peak pediatric fatality age.

The "Epi Comparison Table" contrasts pediatric and adult epidemiology, showing higher incidence (1.7B cases/year under 5) and mortality (525K deaths/year under 5) in children versus moderate incidence and low mortality (<0.1%) in adults. Pediatric cases occur year-round with winter peaks, while adult cases mainly peak in winter but are less severe.

This slide serves as a section header titled "Etiology." Its subtitle highlights viral, bacterial, and parasitic causes, comparing pediatrics versus adults.
Viral, Bacterial, and Parasitic Causes in Pediatrics vs. Adults
Norovirus is the most common viral cause in adults, Rotavirus predominates in children, and Adenovirus affects both age groups. Transmission occurs via the fecal-oral route.
The Bacterial Etiology slide highlights common pathogens: E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter. It specifies transmission in adults via travel and contaminated food, and in children through daycare and close contact.
The slide on Parasitic Etiology highlights Giardia lamblia, common in pediatric daycares and waterborne, and Cryptosporidium spp., linked to outbreaks from contaminated water. Chronic infections predominate in immunocompromised hosts, with similar transmission in pediatrics versus adults but worse outcomes in immunocompromised children.
The slide compares pathogen etiologies for pediatric vs. adult cases in a table format. Viral pathogens predominate in pediatrics (Rotavirus, Norovirus) and are common in adults (Norovirus), bacterial are common in pediatrics (Salmonella, E. coli) but predominate in adults (Campylobacter, Salmonella), and parasitic remain uncommon in both (Giardia, plus Cryptosporidium in adults).

This section header slide, titled "Pathophysiology," introduces the topic of Gastroenteritis Pathophysiology. Its subtitle focuses on the mechanisms of diarrhea, fluid loss, and inflammation.
Mechanisms of Diarrhea, Fluid Loss, and Inflammation
This slide compares the pathophysiology workflow of pathogen-induced diarrhea (enterotoxins/invasion to dehydration) between pediatric and adult patients. Pediatrics shows amplified damage from immature guts, leading to profuse watery diarrhea and rapid severe dehydration, while adults exhibit resilient mucosa, slower progression, and milder symptoms.
{ "headers": [ "Phase", "Pathophysiology", "Pediatric", "Adult" ], "rows": [ [ "Enterotoxins/Invasion", "Pathogen releases toxins or invades mucosa, disrupting fluid/electrolyte balance", "Immature gut barrier amplifies damage; higher receptor density for some toxins", "More resilient mucosa; often toxin-mediated without invasion" ], [ "Diarrhea Onset", "Hypersecretion and reduced absorption lead to watery diarrhea", "Profuse, frequent stools; rapid volume loss", "Less voluminous; inflammatory or secretory, but slower progression" ], [ "Dehydration", "Systemic fluid and electrolyte depletion", "Faster (hours-days); severe due to small reserves and high BSA/volume ratio", "Slower (days); milder, better compensatory mechanisms" ] ] }

The slide features a pathophysiology diagram showing how pathogen ingestion triggers mucosal invasion, inflammation, and excessive fluid secretion, leading to diarrhea and vomiting. It notes rapid dehydration in pediatrics due to higher fluid turnover, versus slower progression and greater electrolyte imbalance in adults.

This section header slide is titled "Clinical Features." Its subtitle lists key symptoms: diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain.
Symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain.
The "Symptoms Comparison Chart" table compares pediatric and adult symptom severity. Pediatrics show high-frequency vomiting, severe dehydration risk, mild abdominal pain, and watery frequent diarrhea, while adults have moderate vomiting, mild-moderate dehydration, more severe pain, and variable diarrhea.
{ "headers": [ "Symptom", "Pediatric", "Adult" ], "rows": [ [ "Vomiting", "High frequency", "Moderate" ], [ "Dehydration", "Severe risk", "Mild-moderate" ], [ "Abdominal Pain", "Mild", "More severe" ], [ "Diarrhea", "Watery, frequent", "Variable" ] ] }
The slide "Key Clinical Differences" compares children and adults. Children have 10x higher dehydration risk than adults, while adults show bloody diarrhea at 20% versus 5% in children.

This slide serves as the section header for "Diagnosis." Its subtitle compares history, stool tests, and hydration assessment in pediatric versus adult patients.
History, Stool Tests, and Hydration Assessment: Pediatric vs. Adult
Diagnostic approaches vary by patient group: pediatrics uses clinical evaluation plus dehydration assessment for ORS, while adults require stool labs to identify bacterial pathogens. Chronic or persistent cases may involve endoscopy if indicated, and routine viral testing is rarely needed.
The slide compares diagnostic differences between pediatric and adult cases in a table format. Pediatric prefers rapid antigen tests for bedside availability and initial screening, while adult relies on culture/PCR for lab confirmation and definitive identification.

This section header slide, titled "Management," introduces "Gastroenteritis Management." The subtitle highlights rehydration, antiemetics, and selective antibiotics for pediatric and adult patients.
Rehydration, antiemetics, and selective antibiotics for pediatric and adult patients.
The slide compares pediatric and adult management aspects for diarrhea, including rehydration, zinc, antibiotics, and probiotics. Pediatrics prioritizes ORS and zinc (10-20mg/day), avoids routine antibiotics except invasive cases, while adults use ORS/IV if severe, skip routine zinc, and give antibiotics for invasive/dysentery; probiotics are considered for both.

The slide summarizes key takeaways: pediatrics have high dehydration risk and rapid progression, adults' cases are often self-limiting but need complication monitoring, and early intervention prevents severe outcomes. It closes with "Early action saves lives!" and a Q&A call-to-action to share questions or cases.
