Analysis and assessment of forensic medical examinations and studies of living individuals who have experienced acute intestinal infections for 2018–2019 according to the BSME of the subject of the Russian Federation
To assess the modern approach in determining the severity of harm to human health in acute intestinal infections, an analysis of the acts of the forensic medical examination of living persons who have suffered acute intestinal infections was carried out on the basis of the forensic medical examination bureau of the southern region for 2018–2019. The analysis showed that today, children are more susceptible to acute intestinal infections, and according to the standards for assessing the degree of harm to human health, the main factor is taken into account, the number of days spent on inpatient or outpatient treatment, regardless of the severity of the infection. In this case, no attention is paid to the long-term consequences of the infection, which, in turn, lead to chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and significantly reduce the quality of life. The findings indicate the need to develop criteria for assessing the severity of harm to health in acute intestinal infections. This will make it possible to systematize the approach and objectively assess the degree of harm caused to health.
