Resumen
GONZALEZ CORONA, Enrique A. y VILLALON ARTIRES, Prudencia. Uso de antimicrobianos en la enfermedad diarreica aguda. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 1996, vol.68, n.1, pp.4-9. ISSN 0034-7531.
A study was carried out on the current state of the use of microbicidals in the Acute Diarrhea Service of the Southern Educational Children's Hospital at Santiago de Cuba, during the period between March and August 1992. The universe was integrated by 427 inpatients, of which only the 13,1 % required the use of these drugs: 9,4 % due to enteral infection, and 3,7 % due to bacterial extraenteral infection. More than the third part of the patients healed with continuous feeding and rehydration, mostly oral, and the persistent and dysenteric diarrheas conditioned most frequently its administration. The clinical criterion was determining in its indication.
