Prognosis for Viral gastroenteritis
Prognosis for Viral gastroenteritis:
People who get viral gastroenteritis almost always
recover completely without any long-term problems. Gastroenteritis is
a serious illness, however, for persons who are unable to drink enough
fluids to replace what they lose through vomiting or diarrhea. Infants,
young children, and persons who are unable to care for themselves, such
as the disabled or elderly, are at risk for dehydration from loss of fluids.
Immune compromised persons are at risk for dehydration because they may
get a more serious illness, with greater vomiting or diarrhea. They may
need to be hospitalized for treatment to correct or prevent dehydration.
