Growth of bacteria greater than 10-5 organisms/ml was found in 22 children, of whom 17 gave a histroy of chronic diarrhoea. The other 8 children had either no diarrhoea or where having an acute attack lasting for a few days. In those with chronic diarrhoea, Esch. coli, bacteroides, and enterococci tended to occur more frequently, whereas streptococci occurred more frequently in those with acute...
Rehydration strategies in children with severe acute malnutrition Background: (SAM) and severe dehydration are extremely cautious. The World Health Organization (WHO) SAM guidelines advise strongly against intravenous fluids unless the child is shocked or severely dehydrated and unable to tolerate oral fluids. Otherwise, guidelines recommend oral or nasogastric rehydration using low sodium oral...
Phosphorus is an essential substance in our body, and hypophosphataemia (HP) is well-described in rickets, refeeding syndrome, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), and in chronic alcohol-abuse. However, to our knowledge, HP among severely-malnourished children has not been studied in detail, and information on prevalence, severity, and treatment is scarce. Currently, there are only a few published case...
Of 100 malnourished Indian infants and children 50 showed a stool pH below 6. Carbohydrate-loading tests demonstrated intolerance to lactose in 39, to sucrose in 25, and to maltose in 15. D-Xylose absorption was reduced in 16. Steatorrhoea was detected in 7 of 18 children tested. Nutritional recovery reversed the abnormalities in all except four, in whom a primary enzymic deficiency was conside...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between nutritional status measurements and pulmonary function in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis. METHODS We evaluated the nutritional status of 48 children and adolescents (aged 6-18 years) with cystic fibrosis based on body mass index (BMI) and body composition measurements-mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) and triceps skinfold thicknes...
BACKGROUND Severely malnourished children aged under five years requiring hospital admission for diarrheal illness frequently develop ileus during hospitalization with often fatal outcomes. However, there is no data on risk factors and outcome of ileus in such children. We intended to evaluate predictive factors for ileus during hospitalization and their outcomes. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDIN...
Tinidazole as a single drug therapy given in a single dose daily for 5 or 3 days was put to rigorous test in malnourished children. Of 25 children with amoebic liver abscess, 23 were cured. The 2 remaining cases required surgical drainage followed by other amoebicides, one subsequently dying from complicating bronchopneumonia.
1. L-Valine, L-leucine and L-isoleucine containing "N were prepared, purified, and fed to marasmic and recovered infants. The excretion of total "N and ["Nlurea in the urine was followed for 72 h. 2. "N excreted from isoleucine was about 90 %, from leucine 70 %, and from valine 50 % in the recovered child. 3. "N excreted was lower for leucine and isoleucine in marasmus than in recovery. The cli...
Only six of the twenty-seven programmes were considered successful, with weight gains of >5g/kg/day and low mortality. Of these, two were delivered through nutrition centres (Bangladesh, South Africa) and two through health clinics (Guinea Bissau, Malawi) and they fed children on site, providing at least 5 meals/day of a modified high-energy milk or high-energy modified family meals. Two domici...
