Abstract
Barnes, G. L., Bishop, R. F. and Townley, R. R. W. (Department of Gastroenterology, Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne and Department of Paediatrics, University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia). Microbial Flora and Disacharidase Depression in Infantile Gastroenteritis. Acta Paediatr Scand, 63: 423, 1974.–In infants with acute gastroenteritis, disaccharidase activity in duodenum is depressed in a majority of patients. There is a statistically significant association between abundant growth of Candida albicans in the duodenum and depression of lactase activity at the same level.Keywords
