tummy bug

English to Arabic Medical Medical (general)
Context:
"You must not bring your child/ren into crèche when they are ill or have a contagious infection, for example conjunctivitis, tummy bug, chicken pox etc".

I think of 'مغض' or 'تمغص البطن', but, as far as I know, 'المغص' isn't a contagious infection. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Many thanks, lirka! Your help is highly appreciated.
Lirka May 29, 2010:
Hi Muhammad, I do not speak Arabic (yet), but I am an MD and can tell you that by stomach bug [ also called stomach flu) viral gastroenteritis is meant. Hope this helps. In addition, the original text seems a bit imprecise to me as 'conjunctivitis' is not infectious per se. What they mean is conjunctivitis caused by an agent such as adenovirus [ that's highly infectious, but generally harmless--see http://webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu/eyeforum/cases/case28.htm
