CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS OF DIARRHEA TREATMENT IN CHILDREN WITH HIV INFECTION
Abstract
to study the clinical efficacy of the treatment of diarrhea in HIV-infected children in a comparative aspect. 261 HIV-infected children with infectious diarrhea under the age of 18 were divided into 2 groups. The main group included 118 children who received the traditional treatment regimen plus Saccharomyces boulardii 2 sachets 2 times a day for 5 days, and the control group included 143 children who received only traditional therapy. Treatment of acute diarrhea in HIV-infected children with Saccharomyces boulardii preparations significantly reduces the daily amount and duration of diarrhea, which leads to a significant disappearance of dehydration symptoms, especially the severity of dehydration decreases by almost 2.4 times after the 5th day of treatment compared with the values before treatment ( P<0.05).
