Viral intestinal infections – viral gastroenteritides

MUDr. Petra Rainetová
Státní zdravotní ústav, Praha

Viral intestinal infections (acute gastroenteritides, AGE) are second only to respiratory infections as the most common cause

of infectious disease worldwide. Specific prevention with vaccination is available only for rotaviruses; the treatment is mainly

symptomatic. The development of molecular biology based diagnostic methods, involving all the major viral causative agents

of gastroenteritides, leads to a more accurate monitoring and thus reporting of these infections.

Keywords: viral gastroenteritides, adenoviruses, rotaviruses, noroviruses, prevention
