Abstract

A regimen for the treatment of diarrheal dehydration is presented. It was devised for use in conditions found in developing countries. Application to large number of patients has been successful. One of its characteristics is the infusion at the start of treatment of a larger amount of fluid than generally recommended. The advantages of magnesium supplementation and phosphate supplementation have been studied. Fecal electrolyte composition has been studied during recovery from diarrheal dehydration. Components of acid balance and generation have been measured with the "net acid" balance technique.
