| Summary: | A literature search on the study of the clinical features of viral diarrhea in children has been carried out depending on the pathogen. 1,484 children with acute enteric infections (AEI) were examined, they underwent inpatient treatment in infectious disease department of Kyiv city children’s clinical hospital № 2 in 2013. It was found that among patients with AEI, 25.9 % had rotavirus infection, 56 % — AEI of uncertain aetiology, 8 % — salmonellosis, 0.1 % — shigellosis, 10 % — AEI with other origin. A literature search showed the effectiveness of the use of probiotics, containing different strains, for AEI treatment, which manifested with reduction of intoxication syndrome, diarrhea, fever by 2–3 days. It is shown that the use of probiotic Subalin, containing Bacillus subtilis strain 2335/105, is promising as etiopathogenetic therapy in the treatment of viral diarrhea in children under current conditions. |
