Clinical characteristics of intestinal mixed infections

Abstract

Objective. To study the features of the clinical picture of mixed intestinal infections in patients treated at the Regional Infectious Clinical Hospital named after A.M. Nichoga in the period from 2017 to 2021.

Materials and methods. The clinical picture was studied in 55 patients with mixed intestinal infection who were treated at the Regional Infectious Hospital named after A.M. Nichoga (Astrakhan).

Results. Mixed intestinal infections in most cases were registered in the summer-autumn period (51 % –92.7 %) in the form of sporadic morbidity. Epidemiological anamnesis data show that the majority of patients drank unboiled water, swam in the river, where they accidentally swallowed water, consumed food products of questionable quality, chicken meat, eggs insufficiently heat-treated, unwashed vegetables and fruit. Four patients arrived in Astrakhan from amoebiasis-endemic regions (Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Egypt); 51 patients (92.7 %) had a moderate form of the disease,4 patients (7.3 %) – a severe form. The clinical picture of mixed intestinal inflections was characterized by the symptoms of shigellosis and salmonellosis.

Two patients, diagnosed shigellosis + amoebiasis had manifestations of ulcerative colitis complicated by intestinal bleeding; 2 patients, diagnosed salmonellosis + amoebiasis, developed dehydration shock. The treatment of patients with a severe form was carried out in the Intensive Care Unit and Resuscitation Unit of the Regional Infectious Clinical Hospital.

Conclusions. The clinical picture of mixed bacterial intestinal infections and intestinal amoebiasis is mainly determined by the symptoms of shigellosis and salmonellosis and is manifested by the phenomena of intoxication, dehydration and the development of colitic and gastroenterocolitic syndromes.
