ABSTRACT
This study was conducted in children under the age of four years for a period of one year. By domiciliary visits the diarrheal episodes were recorded, analysed and presented. The findings are based on the diarrheal experience of 4860 children. The attack rate was 2.6/child/year. Family with more than one child had more attacks. Mean duration was 5.76 days and 11.2% had lasted more than 7 days. All the age groups are similarly affected. 75.6% were just plain loose motions and only 4.9% had blood, mucus or fever associated with loose motions. Case fatality was 0.6%. Attack rate was more in June-August and December-February than the other quarters. 42.2% were shown to R.M.P.s. and 33.6% consulted friends or relatives. More than 2/3 gave mainly home made ORS. 69.9% restricted food during attack.
