The spectrum of gastrointestinal tract infections (GTI) cover a wide spectrum from asymptomatic Helicobacter pylori gastritis to self-limiting viral gastroenteritis to food poisoning to bacterial enterocolitis to antibiotic-associated Clostridium difficile colitis to typhoid fever with sepsis and multi-organ failure. 

This chapter describes the basic characteristics of viruses and the relatively limited number of drugs that can act selectively as antiviral agents. Methods of preventing viral infections (antiviral vaccines) are also briefly discussed. Finally, the current methods of treating a specific viral-induced disease—AIDS—are presented. Rehabilitation specialists often treat patients who are in the active stages of a viral infection, as well as those suffering from the sequelae of viral disorders, such as gastroenteritis, encephalitis, and influenza. Hence, the pharmacotherapeutic treatment and prophylaxis of viral infections should concern physical therapists and occupational therapists. 

In adults, about 70% of those with acute HAV infection develop jaundice much more commonly than with HBV or HCV. In children, acute HAV infection typically goes unrecognized and is often considered to be a viral gastroenteritis or other viral disease, since only 10% of children become jaundiced. The disease is more prolonged and serious in individuals over age 50. The specific etiological diagnosis is made with serological tests. An IgM antibody (anti-HAV IgM) appears early in the course of illness and persists for an... 

Secondary lactose intolerance may occur as a result of reduced enzyme activity following diffuse intestinal damage from infections (giardiasis, bacterial overgrowth, or viral gastroenteritis), ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, and tropical sprue. This deficiency is usually reversible following recovery from the disorder.
