ABSTRACT

Entre marzo y agosto de 1987 se estudiaron 86 ninos con edades comprendidas entre 1 y 24 meses, quienes habian ingresado al Servicio de Lactantes del Hospital Infantil de Medellin, con deshidratacion secundaria a enfermedad diarreica aguda, prolongada o cronica. Una vez hidratados se inicio la alimentacion con dieta que contenia lactosa. Mediante la prueba de Clinitest se hizo el diagnostico de intolerancia a la lactosa y a las maltodextrinas; la primera estaba presente en el 78% de los pacientes y la segunda en el 10%. No hubo diferencias significativas en la frecuencia de malabsorcion en cuanto al tiempo de evolucion de la riarres ni al estado nutricional de los pacientes. La intolerancia a las maltodextrinas fue significativamente mayor en los menores de seis meses. Los resultado con la prueba de Benedict fueron similares a los encontrado con el Clinitest. Aun cuando en general el ph fecal es mas bajo en los casos de intolerancia, se concluye que su sola medcicion no confirma tal entidad.


Between March and August 1987 we studied 86 children aged 1 to 24 months, who had been admitted to the Lactant Service at Hospital lnfantil, Medellín, Colombia. They were dehydratedas a result of acute, chronic or prolonged diarrhea. Once rehydration was obtained they were put on a lactose-containing diet. Lactose and maltodextrine intolerance were diagnosed employing Clinitest and were found to be present in 78 and 10% respectively. The frequency of malabsortion was not significantly different in regards to duration of diarrhea or nutritional status of patients. Maltodextrine intolerance was significantly more common in those under six months of age. Benedict test and Clinitest ylelded similar results. Fecal pH was generally lower in children with intolerance but this finding was not confirmatory of the presence of this entity
