Gastroenteritis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Clinical manifestations vary depending on the pathologic organism and on the level of GI tract involved. However, gastroenteritis in adults is usually an acute, self-limiting, nonfatal disease producing diarrhea, abdominal discomfort (ranging from cramping to pain), nausea, and vomiting. Other possible signs and symptoms include fever, malaise, and borborygmi. In children, the elderly, and the debilitated, gastroenteritis produces the same symptoms, but these patients’intolerance to electrolyte and fluid losses leads to a higher mortality.

Salmonella Gastroenteritis:
Presentation
(Pediatric Infectious Disease)
Infected patients often have fever, leukopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, and
abdominal distention. Diarrhea can occur, but because the bacteria is invasive
and does not reside long in the gastrointestinal tract, constipation can also
be noted.
“Rose spots” represent embolic salmonella to the skin and are rare in children. A major
issue in typhoid fever is early consideration. Typhoid fever should be
considered in any child with a fever and recent travel to an endemic area. This
is particularly true if the child has hepatosplenomegaly, leukopenia, and
negative malarial smears. Typhoid fever is frequently misdiagnosed as malaria
because the endemic regions are similar and both may present with high, spiking
fever.
