Examination of 85 patients with acute intestinal infections (food toxoinfections of medium gravity) of non-established etiology, salmonellosis and acute dysentery) has revealed a significant increase in gastrin concentration in blood plasma both in the acute period and convalescence. The highest increase in blood plasma gastrin concentration was recorded during convalescence, particularly in patients with acute dysentery. Based on the data obtained, the conclusion is made about the involvement of gastrin in the development of gastrointestinal disorders and formation of the adaptation syndrome in acute intestinal infections.
