Acute gastroenteritis is a major cause of diarrheal illnesses throughout the United States. The purpose of this article is to review the current knowledge in diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar, focusing on articles published within the last ten years. There are multiple etiologies of gastroenteritis that affect the general population. Out of the many causes, norovirus continues to be a leading cause of acute diarrheal illness worldwide. Rotavirus was also a common form of diarrhea worldwide, but the development of routine vaccination has largely reduced its incidence. Bacterial gastroenteritis continues to be a significant burden on healthcare facilities worldwide. Supportive care remains the cornerstone of treatment, while using antibiotics remains crucial in severe bacterial forms of gastroenteritis. Acute gastroenteritis remains a significant global health concern requiring a multifaceted approach for effective management. Enhanced diagnostic techniques, vaccine development, and robust public health measures are essential in controlling the spread of gastroenteritis.
