| Popis: | Microbiological contamination ol the enviroment induces chronic enviromental enteropathy, characlerized by mild to moderate morphological and functional changes o( the small intestinal mucosa. Bacterial colonization was evaluated in 31 1 school aged children (1 55 of the high (H-SES] and 1 56 of the low (L-SES) socioeconomic strata) by means of Ihe breath H2 test. Samples were obtained after overnight fast and every 15 minutes for 240 minutes following the ingestion of 1 50 mg • kg laclulose. A health queslionaire that included information about food and medicines ingestion, alcohol consumption, smoking and intolerance to foodstuffs was also applied. In 30% of the children basal H2 excretion was above 10 ppm. In 18,1% of the H-SES and 4.5% of the L-SES (p 20 ppm between 90 and 240 minutes) were detected in 78./% of the H-SES and 40,4% of the L-SES [p< 0.0001). In 1 8.7% and 48.7% of the H-SES and L-SES, respectively, curves were flat (basal excretion < 10 ppm and increments < 20 ppm). Chronic environmental enteropathy is already present in school age children. The lower breath H? excretion observed in low socioeconomic individuals may be due to diferences in quality and quantity of the diet. |
