Gastroenteritis  is an inflammatory condition of the stomach and intestines. Infection with a virus  (an infectious particle spread by close contact of persons, contaminated food or water, and infected surfaces or material) is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in developed countries. Viral gastroenteritis is caused by many types of viruses, including norovirus (previously called Norwalk-like virus), rotavirus, and adenovirus.
