Abstract
High levels of fecal .alpha.-1-antitrypsin were found in children suffering from acute rotavirus diarrhea and in children with diarrhea in whom no microbial pathogen could be established. Transient protein-losing enteropathy is apparently common in acute childhood diarrhea and may influence the outcome of the disease.Keywords
