 Autumn diarrhea is a self-limiting disease caused by rotavirus infection and is one of the "four diseases" prevention and treatment in children. Its onset and prognosis are closely related to the body's nutritional status and immunity. We analyzed the impact of feeding methods and nutritional status on autumn diarrhea in 270 hospitalized children to provide some basis for implementing breastfeeding, improving children's growth and development, and reducing the occurrence of autumn diarrhea. 1 Clinical data The 270 cases in this group were all children hospitalized with diarrhea in our department in the autumn of 1992 to 1994. There were 176 males and 94 females, aged 3 months to 2(3/(12)) years old. Among them, 62 were breastfed (22.96%), 140 were mixed-fed (51.85%), and 68 were artificially fed (25.19%). . It is from November to January of the following year. The feces are mainly egg drop soup-like stool or white watery stool. Microscopy showed no red blood cells or pus cells, mainly fat globules, and a few white blood cells 2 to 3/Hp. In 29 cases, no pathogenic bacteria grew after stool culture.
