Clinical Information
- CHOLERA-. an acute diarrheal disease endemic in india and southeast asia whose causative agent is vibrio cholerae. this condition can lead to severe dehydration in a matter of hours unless quickly treated.
- CHOLERA TOXIN-. an enterotoxin from vibrio cholerae. it consists of two major protomers the heavy h or a subunit and the b protomer which consists of 5 light l or b subunits. the catalytic a subunit is proteolytically cleaved into fragments a1 and a2. the a1 fragment is a monoadp ribose transferase. the b protomer binds cholera toxin to intestinal epithelial cells and facilitates the uptake of the a1 fragment. the a1 catalyzed transfer of adp ribose to the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric g proteins activates the production of cyclic amp. increased levels of cyclic amp are thought to modulate release of fluid and electrolytes from intestinal crypt cells.
- VIPOMA-. a tumor that secretes vasoactive intestinal peptide a neuropeptide that causes vasodilation; relaxation of smooth muscles; watery diarrhea; hypokalemia; and hypochlorhydria. vipomas derived from the pancreatic islet cells generally are malignant and can secrete other hormones. in most cases vipomas are located in the pancreas but can be found in extrapancreatic sites.
- GASTROINTESTINAL DISEASES-. diseases in any segment of the gastrointestinal tract from esophagus to rectum.
- CLASSICAL SWINE FEVER-. an acute highly contagious disease affecting swine of all ages and caused by the classical swine fever virus. it has a sudden onset with high morbidity and mortality.
- CLASSICAL SWINE FEVER VIRUS-. a species of the pestivirus genus causing exceedingly contagious and fatal hemorrhagic disease of swine.
- CHOLERA MORBUS-. an old term that is no longer used in the scientific literature. cholera morbus refers to acute gastroenteritis occurring in summer or autumn; characterized by severe cramps diarrhea and vomiting.
- CHOLERA VACCINES-. vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent infection with vibrio cholerae. the original cholera vaccine consisted of killed bacteria but other kinds of vaccines now exist.

The Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are a patient classification scheme which provides a means of relating the type of patients a hospital treats. The DRGs divides all possible principal diagnoses into mutually exclusive principal diagnosis areas referred to as Major Diagnostic Categories (MDC). applicable from 10/01/2020 through 09/30/2020.
- 371 - MAJOR GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS AND PERITONEAL INFECTIONS WITH MCC
- 372 - MAJOR GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS AND PERITONEAL INFECTIONS WITH CC
- 373 - MAJOR GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS AND PERITONEAL INFECTIONS WITHOUT CC/MCC
