Gastroenteritis 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition October 12–14, 2026 | Dubai, UAE & Online

Introduction

Gastroenteritis is one of the most common gastrointestinal conditions worldwide, affecting people of all ages and regions. Often referred to as the “stomach flu,” it causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines and can range from mild discomfort to severe dehydration and complications. Despite its high prevalence, gastroenteritis remains a major public health concern, especially in children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. This topic holds strong clinical relevance in global gastroenterology practice.

What Is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the digestive system and its disorders. It includes the study, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract—such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines—as well as associated organs like the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Gastroenterologists play a crucial role in managing acute and chronic digestive conditions, including infections like gastroenteritis.

Body Parts Involved

Gastroenteritis primarily affects:

·         Stomach – causing nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort

·         Small Intestine – leading to diarrhea and poor absorption of nutrients and fluids

·         Large Intestine (Colon) – contributing to frequent, watery stools and cramping

In severe cases, fluid and electrolyte imbalance can impact other organs and overall body function.

Problem (Causes and Risk Factors)

Gastroenteritis is most commonly caused by:

·         Viral infections (e.g., norovirus, rotavirus)

·         Bacterial infections (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter)

·         Parasitic infections (e.g., Giardia)

Risk factors include poor sanitation, contaminated food or water, close contact with infected individuals, weakened immunity, and international travel.

 

Solution (Diagnosis and Management)

Diagnosis is usually clinical, based on symptoms and patient history, but stool tests may be required in severe or persistent cases. Management focuses on:

·         Oral or intravenous rehydration

·         Electrolyte replacement

·         Dietary modification

·         Antiemetic and antidiarrheal medications (when appropriate)

·         Antibiotics or antiparasitic agents in selected bacterial or parasitic infections

Preventive strategies such as hand hygiene, food safety, clean water access, and vaccination (e.g., rotavirus) are essential.

Types of Gastroenteritis

·         Viral Gastroenteritis – most common and highly contagious

·         Bacterial Gastroenteritis – often foodborne and may be more severe

·         Parasitic Gastroenteritis – usually chronic and travel-related

·         Non-infectious Gastroenteritis – caused by medications, toxins, or food intolerance

Effects and Complications

If untreated or severe, gastroenteritis can lead to:

·         Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance

·         Malnutrition, especially in children

·         Acute kidney injury

·         Worsening of chronic gastrointestinal diseases

·         Increased morbidity in elderly and immunocompromised patients

Conclusion

Gastroenteritis remains a significant global health challenge despite advances in medical care. Early recognition, appropriate management, and preventive measures are key to reducing complications and mortality. Continued research, education, and international collaboration—such as those fostered at the 16th World Gastroenterology, IBD, Hepatology Conference and Exhibition—are vital to improving patient outcomes and advancing gastrointestinal healthcare w
