Micro-organisms in outpatient infantile gastroenteritis.
This study reports the results of an examination of the stools of 58 infants with gastroenteritis who were seen as outpatients. The stools were examined by routine bacterial culture, and by electron microscopy for virus particles. The stools of a comparable control group of infants who had no gastrointestinal symptoms were also similarly examined. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella s...
متن کاملMicro-organisms in gastroenteritis.
We present bacteriological and virological findings together with salient clinical features from a prospective study of 447 children aged under 2 years admitted to hospital with infectious gastroenteritis. Putative pathogenic micro-organisms were identified in the stools of 75% of these children. Eight identifiably distinct groups of viruses, found on electron microscopy and tissue culture were...
متن کاملHyperglycaemia in infantile gastroenteritis.
The prevalence and pathogenesis of hyperglycaemia were investigated in a consecutive series of 27 black infants admitted to hospital with gastroenteritis over a period of three months. Hyperglycaemia (plasma glucose concentration greater than 10 mmol/l) occurred in 15 (55%) of these patients. The pathogenesis was not clear but possible contributory factors included raised concentrations of the ...
متن کاملHyperglycaemia in infantile gastroenteritis
We read with interest the paper by Rabinowitz et al.' Our own impressions were at variance with his figures. To verify our views we analysed 33 cases of acute gastroenteritis treated within our hospital in the last six months. All patients admitted with acute gastroenteritis have urea and electrolytes determinations before treatment is started. In our laboratory, blood glucose estimation is per...
متن کاملHydroxyproline excretion in infantile gastroenteritis.
Total hydroxyproline/creatinine ratio (THP:Cr) was measured in random urine specimens from 18 infants with gastroenteritis. THP:Cr was sometimes increased during the acute phase of the illness and the reasons for this are discussed. Seven patients failed to thrive after the acute phase and THP:Cr was low in all of these. The test appears to be a sensitive indicator of the onset of failure to th...
