Abstract:
The causative agents of viral gastroenteritis belong to generally little known pathogens. But according to some studies, these viruses make up a considerable proportion of agents causing diarrhea in children and adults. In this review, the authors focused on both relatively known pathogens such as adenoviruses, rotaviruses or caliciviruses and not so well known or newly recognized viral gastroenteritis pathogens like toroviruses, astroviruses, bocaviruses or parechoviruses. The first part of this review is concerned with basic information about each etiological agent. The second one deals with their detection and identification. The last part is about therapy and prophylaxis of viral pathogens.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
