Abstract:Increased gut permeability to macromolecules is thought to be an important factor in the development of food hypersensitivity. The latter can develop in the course of acute gastroenteritis and could play a role in infantile eczema. We studied gut permeability in 10 normal adults, 11 control children, 7 children with acute gastroenteritis, and 8 patients with infantile eczema, making use of [51Cr]EDTA as probe molecule. [51Cr]EDTA was given orally (50–100 (μC1); 24‐h urinary excretion of [5ICr]EDTA was measured… Show more
