- Abstract: The etiology of chronic diarrhea in children is complex,which seriously affects children's health and quality of life. Chronic diarrhea in childhood is common in infants. In addition to acquired factors,congenital anatomical abnormalities and congenital hereditary diseases should also be considered. The diagnosis of diarrhea should be based on comprehensive analysis of age,history,physical examination and laboratory tests. Further examination should be selected according to different conditions,including imaging,digestive endoscopy,pathology and special examination. Gene sequencing and functional verification should be used when genetic diseases are suspected. Eventually,most of the causes can be found.
