ABSTRACT
A retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out in 102 patients
under age 2 with persistent diarrhea admitted to the Service of Acute Diarrheic Diseases
from Southern Pediatric Hospital in Santiago de Cuba from April, 1993 to March, 1994,
to whom microscopic test of stool, fecal culture, hemogram and partial urinalysis were
made. This type of diarrhea predominated in those under 1 year old, who received bottle
feeding and had previous diarrheic episodes (acute or persistent), thereby the treatment
was mainly based on oral rehydration, reduction or withdrawal of lactose as well as on
use of vitamin supplementation and antimicrobial agents nearly in half of the patients.
The complications were uncommon and the course was favorable in the total of the
series. A brief practical guide is included for treating such disorder.
