title: [Acute emesis].
abstract: Causes of acute vomiting are mostly harmless and readily amenable to treatment, so that the condition thus has a good prognosis. In more rare cases, however, it might also be a symptom accompanying a more serious--even life-threatening--illness. A meticulous diagnostic investigation and effective treatment is therefore mandatory.
