A retrospective analysis of the etiological structure and clinical manifestations of acute intestinal infections was conducted in 8459 children hospitalized in a specialized infectious disease department at the Children's City Clinical Hospital No.9 in Moscow, in 2015—2017 based on the study of statistical reports of the Children's City Clinical Hospital No.9 for 2015—2017 and 2417 case histories of children aged 1 month to 18 years old.It was found that children with age 1—7 years of age (58.5%) are more likely to have acute intestinal infections and are hospitalized. The etiological interpretation of acute intestinal infections remains at a low level and is 28.6%. The leading causative agents of acute intestinal infections are viruses (83%), mainly rotaviruses (62%), less often noroviruses (18%). Topical diagnosis in the vast majority of patients with acute intestinal infections was gastroenteritis (74.7%), which leads to the development of toxicosis with exsiccosis, especially in young children, which is the reason for hospitalization in the hospital. The share of bacterial diarrhea is small (17%), among them salmonella is significant, and in young children — staphylococcal infection. In recent years, the relevance of identifying campylobacter and clostridium, these pathogens may be the cause of the development of diarrhea with hemoccolitis.
