See above will depend on the antibiotic and presence of complications. Discuss with the Microbiologist. Gastroenteritis Cryptosporidia E. coli 0157 Salmonella NB. Prior vaccination does not exclude the possibility of S.typhi infection. Most cases are self-limiting, antibiotic therapy is not usually indicated as it can cause antibiotic resistance, and may be associated with side effects. Symptoms may last for 1-3 weeks in healthy individuals, and resolve slowly and spontaneously. Many cases of gastroenteritis are viral in origin. Cryptosporidia is a coccoidal protozoa that causes diarrhoea. Infection is common in children and young adults. Fluid replacement essential. In severe cases seek advice from the consultant microbiologist. Notify suspected cases of food
