Astrovirus
Enteric adenovirus
Pathogenesis for viral gastroenteritis
cause diarrhea by destroying or altering function of enterocyte at the villi but no in crypts
Villus cells are sodium-absorbing cells. See decreased sodium and water absorption
and reduced production of disaccharidases leading to carbohydrate malabsorption.
- Some also have proteins that stimulate fluid secretion
Similarities between norovirus and rotavirus
non inflammatory watery diarrhea + no wbc or blood
both seen in cooler months
