Observations on Treatment of Infant Diarrhea in Panama

摘要

A study of 281 cases of infant diarrhea is reported. Of these, 261 were treated with drug preparations containing either neomycin, succinylsulfathiazole or a combination of neomycin and streptomycin on an outpatient, dispensary basis. The other 20 were hospitalized. Results with all three compounds were good, but especially so with the neomycin-streptomycin combination. With the latter compound, 88.1% of infants were cured within 48 hours and another 9.5% within a second 48-hour period.
