Abstract
Infections are a common cause of gastrointestinal disease. This chapter focuses on the more common infectious causes of diarrhea, food poisoning, and diverticulitis. It does not review Helicobacter pylori infection, bacterial overgrowth, or infections in patients seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), because they are considered in other chapters.
