Acute gastroenteritis.

A Survey of Infantile Gastroenteritis

“…Recent publications have tended to concentrate on a single aspect of the disease, often investigations of the bacterial or viral aetiology (Ejercito et al, 1966;Hughes et al, 1968;Moffet et al, 1968), the biochemical abnormalities (Cornfeld 1964;Harrison and Finberg, 1964;Teree et al, 1965;Hirschhorn et al, 1966;TayLor, 1968), or treatment (Barness and Young, 1964;Cushing, 1967;Lamb, 1968;Warin, 1968;Valman and Wilmers, 1969). Recent experimental work has been directed to the problem of transferable drug resistance (Anderson, 1968;Moorhouse and McKay, 1968) and to the effect of E. coli on isolated segments of intestine in rabbits and other animals (Taylor et al, 1961;Smith and Halls, 1967).…”
