Gastroenteritis, and its Effect of Patient and Health Care System                                                              Abstract : Gastroenteritis is a common condition characterized by diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort, mainly caused by viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections. Although most cases are self-limiting, gastroenteritis can lead to dehydration, hospitalization, and complications, particularly in children and older adults. It also affects society through healthcare costs, school and work absenteeism, and reduced productivity. Effective prevention, early recognition, and appropriate management can significantly reduce its impact.
