Zusammenfassung

Gastrointestinale Infektionen und infektiöse Durchfallerkrankungen gehören nach Schätzungen der WHO immer noch zu den zehn häufigsten Todesursachen weltweit. Eine Vielzahl von bakteriellen, viralen und in Europa seltener auch parasitären Erregern muss als Verursacher in Betracht gezogen werden. Symptomatisch werden diese Infektionen unter anderem durch Durchfälle, Erbrechen, Krämpfe und Fieber, die in sehr unterschiedlicher Ausprägung auftreten und insbesondere bei Kleinkindern und Mangelernährung durch Elektrolytverschiebungen und Flüssigkeitsverluste sogar lebensbedrohliche Zustände hervorrufen können. Clostridien, Noro- und Rotaviren sind als nosokomiale Infektionserreger von besonderer Bedeutung.
