This retrospective study of persistent diarrhoea was performed to identify the possible risk factors of persistent diarrhoea. 103 children who developed persistent diarrhoea were compared the 252 cases with acute diarrhoea. There were no significant sex related differences in the incidence of the disease. The mean age and the season distribution were similar. The persistent diarrhoea was significantly correlated with stool bloody. Interruption breastfeeding during diarrhoea [P < 10-3]. Malnutrition [rapport weight/age < 75% NCHS Normes] was strongly associated with persistent diarrhoea [p < 1.15-6], septicemia and death were the most frequent complications of persistent diarrhoea. Prevention of malnutrition and correct measures for the prevention of acute diarrhoea could help to reduce the risk of the persistent diarrhoea
