In 1983, 2869 @entity1 and @entity1 were hospitalized in the pediatric ward of the Dr. Pirngadi Hospital Mecan. Of these, 1317 (46.2%) were @entity1902 cases; 635 of these @entity1 (48.2%) were those ages 0-1 year. The highest prevalence is found among this group. The months of July and August accounted for the majority of @entity1902 cases, 15.6% in the 1st and 14.2% in the 2nd. This condition held true for all age groups. Mild, moderate, and severe @entity2700 were encountered in 4.3%, 35.7%, and 60.6% of the cases. The over 3 year olds had the highest number of severe @entity2700 cases; 76.5% of all @entity1 in the same age group. Most of these cases occurred in July; 71.2% in that month. A significant inverse correlation between age and @entity294 duration was evident--the younger the age, the longer the duration of @entity294 (p0.01). Administration of oral electrolyte solution did not significantly alter the duration of @entity294 . The overall mortality rate was 13%. The highest age specific fatality rate was found among those ages 0-1 (20.3%). Mortality for those @entity1 older than 3 was 1.8%.
