“…In Bangladesh, breast-feeding has a protective effect against diarrhoea up to the age of 3 years (Briend et al, 1988). The concept of 'weanling diarrhoea', introduced by Gordon, Chitkara & Wyon (1963), is a recognition of the increased incidence of diarrhoea around the time breast-feeding is terminated, for around at least 3 months thereafter. Thus early termination of breast-feeding may be expected to explain the effect from a subsequent pregnancy on the incidence of diarrhoea reported here.…”

A prospective study of 113 children in rural Bhutan registered their morbidity and weight and their mothers' subsequent pregnancies, monthly for 32 months during the children's first 3 years of life. Children whose mothers had a subsequent birth interval of 18-30 months had an incidence of diarrhoea during the subsequent pregnancy 50% higher than their matched cohort whose mothers did not become pregnant (/>=0-02). The relative risk for diarrhoea calculated from pooled child months was 1-51. Children whose mothers became pregnant also tended to have a higher incidence of skin infections.Children, whose mothers were pregnant when they terminated breastfeeding, experienced an increased incidence of diarrhoea around weaning (/7=001). Children weaned at the same age from non-pregnant mothers did not show increased morbidity.This study, for the first time, relates observations of children's morbidity directly in time to the occurrence of the mother's subsequent pregnancy, and provides evidence of a causal relationship between a moderately short subsequent birth interval and a concurrent increase in morbidity for the study child.

“…[2] The broad clinical spectrum of diseases caused by intestinal parasites in HIV patients ranged from asymptomatic infestation to severe, life threatening diarrhea, dehydration and malabsorption. [3,4] T-lymphocyte cell (T-cell) mediated immunity is very important in maintenance of healthy colon. [5] Depletion of circulating T-cell as a result of HIV infection invariably leads to increased susceptibility to opportunistic intestinal protozoan parasites.…”
