Abstract:
110 cases of infantile diarrhoea were admitted to this institute in a period from Aug. 30 to Dec. 22 of 1982.The patients were randomly divided into two groups, the TDP group and the control group. The general condition and the age distribution of the patients of both groups were similar. The patients of the TDP group received only TDP radiation instead of antibiotics and those of the control group received antibiotics therapy but no TDP. Other treatments such as fluid replacement, dietary regulation, etc, were the same in two groups. Stool samples were sent for routine examination and bacterial culture and blood samples for the determinations of the electrolyte levels, CO2CP, and immunity function for all the patients right after admission as well as just before discharge. The cure rate and course of the disease were similar in two groups. However the pathogenic organisms could still be revealed in the stool of the patients of the TDP group after recovery. But the rate of lymphocyte transformation was significantly higher in the patients of TDP group.It is concluded that TDP radiation is a simple, safe and effective treatment for infantile diarrhoea but its therapeutic mechanism remains obscure.
