[Duodenal microflora in well-nourished infants with acute diarrhea and with carbohydrate intolerance]
Abstract:
Duodenal microflora was studied in two groups of infants in their first month of life with normal nutritional status: I) 11 infants with acute diarrhea; II) 3 infants with carbohydrate intolerance. No modifications of microflora were found in group I. Meanwhile in group II bacterial counts were always present from 10(3) to indefinite col/ml, being frequent the presence of Gram negative bacteria, with almost half of occasions positive to "Escherichia coli". Duodenal microflora alterations were independent of diarrheal duration and the same than those described in other ages of life.
