Enterocolitis is an inflammation of the digestive tract, involving enteritis of the small intestine and colitis of the colon.[1] It may be caused by various infections , with bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, or other causes. Common clinical manifestations of enterocolitis are frequent diarrheal defecations, with or without nausea , vomiting, abdominal pain, fever , chills, and alteration of general condition. General manifestations are given by the dissemination of the infectious agent or its toxins throughout the body, or – most frequently – by significant losses of water and minerals, the consequence of diarrhea and vomiting.
