Abstract
SummaryAscorbic acid is excreted in small amounts in the stools of the normal infant studied. Large amounts of orally administered ascorbic acid are excreted in the stools of infants following catharsis and during acute diarrhea. The increased fecal excretion of orally administered ascorbic acid during acute diarrhea in the infant points to its failure of absorption in the intestinal tract, and explains the low blood plasma values and low urinary excretion.
