Abstract:
Lactose tolerance test with ethanol(LTTE)described by Arola was performed in 41 healthy children and lactose malabsorption(LM)could be diagnosed if blood galactose(B-gal)was less than 0.3 mmol/L or urine galactose less than 2 mmol/L.Then 138 healthy infants and children and 95 children with acute diarrhea were examined for LM or lactose intolerance(LI)with the urine samples of LTTE and symptom-response score(SRS).It was found that LTTE was reliable in the diagnosis of LM ;the incidence of LM or LI increased with the increase of age in children)and RV enteritis was liable to be complicated with LM or Li.
