Résumé
Les infections intestinales grêles sont, avec les infections coliques, les maladies les plus fréquentes au monde et particulièrement agressives, spécialement chez les jeunes enfants, où elles peuvent causer un nombre élevé de décès dus aux diarrhées. Elles sont causées par des agents pathogènes les plus divers et leurs aspects pathologiques et épidémiologiques comme leur incidence peuvent être différents d'une contrée à l'autre.
Dans cet article, nous traiterons des causes pes plus communes des infections grêles et décrirons leurs caractéristiques cliniques et leurs aspects histologiques. Les maladies infectieuses sont classées en deux catégories, aiguës et chroniques; le type d'infiltrat inflammatoire peut aider à poser un diagnostic correct.
Summary
Small intestinal infections are, together with colonic infections, amongst the most frequent occurring diseases worldwide and they harass mankind. Especially among young children there are enormous numbers of deaths due to diarrhoeal disease. They can be caused by a great diversity of pathogens and their pathological and epidemiological features as well as their incidence can often differ in different areas of the world.
In this paper the most common causes of small intestinal infections are reviewed and some characteristics of their clinical and histological aspects are described. Moreover, the different infectious diseases are classified into acute and chronic as the recognition of the type of inflammatory infiltrate may be help ful to make a correct diagnosis.
