What is the difference between enterotoxicosis and gastroenteritis?

∙ 13y ago
Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. This causes vomiting and watery diarrhea. If severe, the rapid loss of water and electrolytes can lead to hypovolemic shock.
Enterotoxicosis is caused by ingestion of preformed enterotoxins. This is food poisoning, which is characterized by the fast onset of symptoms and a fast recovery. Common culprits for enterotoxicosis are Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium botulinum, and Bacillus cereus.
The enterotoxins that cause food poisoning can cause gastroenteritis, but gastroenteritis is not necessarily the result of enterotoxicosis. Inflammation of the GI tract is usually associated with colonization by a pathogen. This type of illness could result from pathogens like Shigella, Salmonella, Vibrio cholerae, or Campylobacter establishing themselves in the intestine. The causative bacteria actually invade and damage the intestinal mucosa.
