Pathophysiology

Modifiable Factors: Non Modifiable Factors:

Lifestyle Bacterial Phatogen Age
Hygiene
Diet

Ingestion of Phatogen

Decrease secretion of goblet Adherance, Mucosal Invasion,

cells Enterotoxin, Cytotoxin
production e.g Small Intestine

Stimulation and distraction Mediators of

of mucosal lining Inflammation
Cytokines
Prostaglandin

Malfunction of Absorption
and Secretion

Increased peristaltic movement

Diarrhea, Vomiting

Fluid and Electrolyte imbalance too much Na+ and K

are expelled from the body

Dehydration
