| Popis: | The authors compared early versus late refeeding in the management of acute diarrhea in infants between 0-1 year. The study was carried out on two homogeneous patient groups. In the study group (73 patients) breast feeding was resumed or early refeeding was performed in infants on nonbreast feeding, so that feeding prior to the onset of the disease was reached within 2-3 days. Refeeding was performed by resuming the milk formula in infants 5 months. In the control group (49 patients) late refeeding was performed, introducing milk formula after 24-36 hours (in infants 5 months), reverting to original feeding after 4-6 days. There were significant differences regarding the number of stools and duration of evolution. Weight halt and loss during diet was noted more frequently in the group with late refeeding. The differences between the changes of weight curve between the two groups are statistically significant (t = 5.32, at p = 0.01). The results of the study indicate the favourable effect of early refeeding on the weight curve in the management of acute diarrhea. |
