Stool samples of 100 children (below 2 years of age) with acute diarrhea as study group and 50 non-diarrheal stools of children (age and sex matched) as control were examined for parasites. The samples were processed and examined by direct wet mounts, concentration technique and modified
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is an uncommon disorder with varied presentation. Records of 7 patients (6 men) with eosinophilic gastroenteritis, presenting to a large referral hospital over a 10-year period, were analyzed. The patients were young adults (mean age 32 years) with short duration (median

Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrhea in infants and young children worldwide. The burden of rotavirus diarrhea in Indian children is not well established. The present study reviewed the epidemiology of rotavirus diarrhea in hospitalized children and in the community,
BACKGROUND
There are 500,000 cases per year of visceral leishmaniasis, which occurs primarily in the Indian subcontinent. Almost all untreated patients die, and all the effective agents have been parenteral. Miltefosine is an oral agent that has been shown in small numbers of patients to have a
Diagnosis and treatment of Indian visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is extremely unsatisfactory. For diagnosis, demonstration of parasites in splenic/marrow smears remains the gold standard, though k39 rapid strip test is a useful method in regions where access to parasite demonstration is difficult.

Current epidemiological scenario of Hp in India does not very clearly predict the natural history of this infection in children as they grow old. Positive serology does not seem to be of much clinical significance. Colonization by Hp in the stomach or duodenum per se does not predict a potential
Twenty-eight Sioux and 29 Saluteaux Indians from a southern and an isolated northern Manitoban community were screened for lactose malabsorption; 55 were also screened for sucrose tolerance. Sixty percent of the subjects were lactose malabsorbers; the incidence increased with age. Lactase deficiency
Trichohepatoenteric syndrome (THES) is characterized by chronic diarrhea, dysmorphic facies and hair abnormalities. Hepatic involvement varies from no abnormality to cirrhosis and hemochromatosis. Recently, mutations in the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 37 (TTC37) gene were identified to cause
Demonstration of cryptosporidiosis in Mayan Indians living around Lake Atitlan provided an opportunity to correlate infection with abdominal pain and/or diarrhea in different age groups of children. 94 subjects experiencing abdominal pain and/or diarrhea, between the ages of 2 and 13 were studied in
Rotaviral diarrhea is endemic in most areas of the world, yet community-wide epidemics have not been reported in prospectively monitored populations. This prospective study of the etiology of diarrhea included biweekly visits to the homes of 10% of the population of the White Mountain Apache Indians
OBJECTIVE
Infants and young children in low to middle-income countries are at risk for adverse neurodevelopment due to multiple risk factors. In this study, we sought to identify stimulation and learning opportunities, growth, and burden of respiratory infections and diarrhea as predictors for
