We prospectively studied clinical outcome and nutrition absorption in male children (6-36 months of age) with persistent diarrhea (PD) and severe protein-energy malnutrition (mean z score for age, -4.2 +/- 0.8). Fifty-one children were randomly allocated to receive a combination of khitchri, a
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains are the most prevalent enteropathogenic agents isolated in the stools of hospitalized infants with severe acute diarrhea in São Paulo. These microorganisms induce a severe intestinal secretion of fluids and electrolytes that can cause dehydration
The immune functions were evaluated in 30 children, aged one year to 9 8/12 years, who had suffered during their early infancy from protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM) as the result of intractable diarrhea. Twelve healthy children matched for age and sex served as controls. All 42 children responded
Dried skimmed milk is the accepted food for the initial treatment of severe protein-calorie malnutrition. Major drawbacks of dried skimmed milk include tendency to provoke or aggravate severe diarrhea (presumably due to lactose intolerance) and its low caloric content predisposing to hypoglycemia
