*Dr. Fawzyia Abed Hussein, M.B.CH.B

ABSTRACT

A study conducted in the central teaching hospital for the children where 70 children aged between 2 months - 2 years during 4 months period from 10th of January 2004 to 10th of may 2004 included in this study. Of these children, (40) admitted to the hospital because of diarrhea for more than 2 weeks, and (30) children visit the hospital foe vaccination as control. Hemoglobin. PCV, length, weight, head circumference were taken. History of previous attacks of diarrhea recurrence, any associated illnesses, type of feeding any added food to see if there is any relationship between chronic diarrhea and iron deficiency anemia and their relationship with growth parameters. Patient total no. (70), (40) male, (30) female. The study show that (70%) of patient with diarrhea were anemic with mild anemia (Hb 7-11). Also 72.5% of patient with diarrhea were bottle fed. (10%) mixed feeding, while 43.3% of control were breast feed, (16.6%) were mixed feeding. So most patients with chronic diarrhea were bottle fed, and they from high percentage of anemic patient due to chronic diarrhea. In addition to the above 25% patients with diarrhea were < 3rd centile in all parameters, while only 3% of control < 3rd centile in all parameters. In this study we exclude patient < 2 months for the possibility of inborn error of metabolism as a cause of chronic diarrhea and exclude any chronic illnesses.
