Gastrointestinal (GI) Infections
In this section, I have shared all the videos relevant to the new pattern. After each topic, there is a PPT from Dr. Apurba Sastry sir.
1. DIARRHEAL DISEASES
This is one of the most important topics in the whole medical world. Diarrhea is the most common presentation of GI infection or in any other GI-related problem. Your concepts of diarrhea should be crystal clear or you will regret it every time you enter the clinic as a student.
You can find the whole section on infectious diseases at lecturio.
2. Food Poisoning
This is the second most common thing you will see in GI patients. Etiology for food poisoning is very limited so you should be able to diagnose the case of food poisoning by the end of this section.
Food poisoning is basically of two major types I have shared videos for both types –
Botulism
Mycotoxicosis
