Inflammation and enteric infectious disease

Inflammation and enteric infectious disease

Inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract is a complex biological response to harm caused by bacteria, damaged cells, or irritants. The symbiotic microbiome in the digestive tract is thought to protect the gut by eliminating unwanted stimuli and promoting recovery. Enteric dysfunction has been linked to malnutrition, delayed cognitive development, increased susceptibility to other infectious diseases, poor oral vaccine response, and increased mortality risk as a result of diarrheal disease, infections by parasites, alterations in the gut microbial environment, and other problems.
