[The clinical manifestations and treatment of shock in acute intestinal infections]

Shock (hypovolemic and infectious-toxic) is a severe complication of acute intestinal infections. Of 35096 patients with acute intestinal infections (90.6% had food poisoning, 9.4% had salmonellosis), 24 (0.07%) patients developed hypovolemic, 26 (0.08%) infectious-toxic shock. Hypovolemic shock is based on decompensated dehydration, infectious-toxic one arises from generalized circulation disorders with severe affection of hemostasis. Hypovolemic shock was effectively managed with polyionic crystalloid solutions. In infectious-toxic shock hemodynamic and homeostatic defects should be corrected. In spite of intensive therapy, lethality in infectious-toxic shock in patients with acute intestinal infections reached 80.8%.
