Abstract :

Background. Malnourished has a great impact in decreasing the production and maturation of enterocytes, intestinal enzymes and nutrient transport. It also decreases villous length and the amount of microvilies, which causes intolerance and malabsorption. Objective. To compare low fat milk v/s low lactose milk in the recovery of acute diarrhea children with different nutritional status. Methods. Prospective, randomized sampling, group I: low fat milk was compared to group II: low lactose milk and length of diarrhea recovery was evaluated. Result. During January – February 2002: 40 patients with acute diarrhea, age between 4 months old – 7 years old, 62.5% of the patients with good nutritional status, 22.5% under nourished and 15% with severe under nourished. 50% of the patients were given low fat milk and the other 50% were given low lactose milk. Length of recovery: severe under nourished in group I: mean 3 days, SD + 1.41 was compared to group II: mean 2.5 days, SD + 0.71 (p: 0.830); under nourished in group I: mean 2.4 days, SD + 0.55 compared to group II: mean 2.5 days, SD + 0.58 (p: 0.777); good nourished in group I: mean 3.18 days, SD + 0.98 compared to group II: mean 2.79 days, SD + 1.12 (p: 0.201). Conclusion. There were no significant differences in length of recovery in diarrhea patients given low fat milk compared to those receiving low lactose milk with different nutritional status.
