Role of dysbiosis in acute intestinal infections and epidemiological history of patients of the Primorsky Central District Hospital

Dysbiosis is a condition characterized by a disruption of the intestinal microflora balance, which can occur as a result of various factors, including acute intestinal infections. The relevance of dysbiosis in acute intestinal infections is due to the fact that it can aggravate the course of the disease and lead to longer rehabilitation and a variety of clinical manifestations. The article presents the relationship between dysbiosis and acute intestinal infections. The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 31 patients who were treated by an infectious disease specialist at the Primorsky Central District Hospital for acute intestinal infections of various etiologies and accompanying dysbiosis. Dysbiosis occurs in 100% of cases with acute intestinal infections. Among the pathogens, salmonella was identified in 19.4%, mixed infection (Klebsiella, Shigella, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli) – in 12.9%, Escherichia coli – in 45.2%, as well as Rotavirus and Norovirus – in 6.5% and 3.2% respectively. The most common symptoms were diarrhea, fever, and allergic rash. A rich epidemiological history and a large number of representatives of the decreed group are indicative. It is essential to diagnose and begin treatment on time, as well as constantly follow preventive measures.
