Shock (hypovolemic and infectious-toxic) is a severe complication of a
cute intestinal infections. Of 35096 patients with acute intestinal in
fections (90.6% had food poisoning, 9.4% had salmonellosis), 24 (0.07%
) patients developed hypovolemic, 26 (0.08%) infectious-toxic shock. H
ypovolemic shack is based on decompensated dehydration, infectious-tox
ic one arises from generalized circulation disorders with severe affec
tion of hemostasis. Hypovolemic shock was effectively managed with pol
yionic crystalloid solutions. In infectious-toxic shock hemodynamic an
d homeostatic defects should be corrected. In spite of intensive thera
py, lethality in infectious-toxic shock in patients with acute intesti
nal infections reached 80.8%.
