Background: Diarrhea disease is a common popular in children. It gives effect greatly to the development of children and also is a direct reason or indirect reason which results the mortality for children. Objectives:This study aims to assess the effectiveness of some interventional solution on diarrhea disease in children under 60 months of age at Hoang Tay, Kim Bang, Ha Nam. Subjects and method:An community intervention study (prospective longitudinal study) was undertaken from December 1994 to December 2000 in Kim bang district, Ha Nam province. Results: 956 children age from 0 to 60 and mothers have children under 60 months were kept under surveillance by two weeks once home visits within two years. The incidence sensitive of diarrhea in Hoang Tay (interventional commune) were 0.64 and 0.47 (effective indicator: 26.5%); in Van Xa (control group) were 0.68 and 0.63 (effective indicator: 7.3%);interventional effectiveness: 19.2%. After intervention, at Hoang Tay village, the mothers use ORS for treatment increase 58.2%, use porridge extraction increase 116.6% and use antibiotic reduced 8.8%, use herbal medicine reduced 30.8%.

Background: Enteroaggregative Esherichia coli (EAEC) is a bacterium that can cause diarrhea. Enteroaggregative Esherichia coli (EAEC) has been one of important diarrheagenic E. coli. It is necessary to evaluate the role of EAEC in causing diarrhea in children. Objectives: The purposes of this study are to determine the prevalence \r\n', u'of EAEC in children with and without diarrhea and to evaluate the clinical symptoms of diarrhea caused by EAEC. Subjects and method:These 836 children living in Hanoi including 587 children with diarrhea and 249 controls have been selected for the study. Polymerase Chain Reaction in combination with the conventional method have been used to detect EPEe.They were treated at Saint \ufffd?Paul Hospital, Thanh Nhan Hospital and National Hospital of Pediatrics. Results: EAEC strains have been detected with the prevalence of 11.6% in children with diarrhea and of 7.2% in the controls. It shows a correlation of EAEC with diarrhea in children less than 2 years of age. The common clinical symptoms of EPEC diarrhea anT watery diarrhea, sunken, vomiting. Conclusion: Enteroaggregative Esherichia coli are attributable to about 12% of diarrheal cases in children. Watery diarrhea is the most commonly seen symptom. It would be of interest to perform further studies on diarrhea caused by EAEC in children in Hanoi. \r\n', u'

OBJECTIVETo compare therapeutic effects of acupuncture plus massage therapy and western medicine on infantile diarrhea.

METHODSA total of 120 cases of infantile diarrhea were randomly divided into a treatment group of 80 cases and a control group of 40 cases. The treatment group were treated by acupuncture and massage therapy, and the control group by smecta.

RESULTSThe cured rate of 55.0% in the treatment group was better than 35.0% in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture plus massage therapy has obvious therapeutic effect on infantile diarrhea.

We studied 60 hospitalized sick infants with diarrhea to determine the efficacy of lactose free, soy-milk formula(Isomil) on the recovery of diarrhea. 60 sick infants were divided into two groups; Group 1 is consisted of 30 infants who were given Isomil, Group 2 is also consisted of 30 infants who were given 1/2 milk formula during the recovery stage, respectively. There was no difference between the two groups in admission weight, age, duration of diarrhea, number of stools per day, degree of dehydration and serum Na concentration. Initial management of the dirrhea was by means of intravenous fluid therapy and approprate period of fasting to allow intestinal rest. At 2nd day or 3rd day, the patient was given at random lactose free formula or 1/2 milk formula when we started to observe the frequency and consistency of stool. In Group 1, 23 successes and 7 failures. In Group 2, 13 successes and 17 failures. This represented a significant success rate in group I (p<0.025). The data suggest that during the recovery phase of gastroenteritis in young infants, a lactose free, soy-protein formula(Isomil) has definite adventages than 1/2 milk formula.

PURPOSE: We studied to know the effect of early feeding on the course and the recovery of acute diarrheal disease. METHODS: The study was conducted on 76 patients who admitted to the Soonchunhyang university hospital for acute diarrhea. We divided 76 patients into 3 dietary groups (whole milk group (WMG): 35, diluted milk group (DMG): 29, breast milk group (BMG): 12). We compared three groups by numbers of diarrhea, numbers of vomiting, calory intake, weight increments, and duration of diarrhea. RESULTS: 1) The mean age was 16.45+/-18.20, 11.53+/-9.80, 5.38+/-5.01 months for WMG, DMG, and BMG, respectively. The mean weight was 9 kg and the mean duration of diarrhea was 2.29 days. 2) The numbers of diarrhea during admission was not significantly different in the three groups. 3) The calory intake during admission was significantly low in DMG. 4) The weight increments during admission was significantly low in DMG. 5) The duration of diarrhea during admission was not significantly different in the three gourps. CONCLUSION: Early refeeding with whole milk or breast milk did not prolong or worsen the course or symptoms of diarrhea compared with gradual reintroduction with diluted milk. But there were advantages of improved nutrition and weight increments. Futher study is necessary to demonstrate the effect of diet according to the causative organisms.
