Focus is on studies of @entity697 that have been conducted at the Pediatric Center in Bombay, India and at other Indian centers. The objective is to present the picture of @entity697 in @entity950 as seen in a large developing country like India. Of a total admission of 16,252 cases over a 5-year period, 2835 were of acute @entity294 , constituting 17.3% of the total admissions. 89.1% of these cases occurred under age 2; 10.9% were in the age group of 3-12 years. There were 440 deaths in 2835 cases, i.e. the mortality rate in @entity294 was 15.5%, but it varied from 12-19% in a 5-year period. Of a total of 2088 deaths due to all cases in a 5-year period, @entity294 was responsible for 21%. Bacteriological and virological studies in a series of 642 cases studied throughtout India showed pathogenic organisms in 19.7% to 69.7% of cases and non-pathogenic organisms 15.2% to 80.3%. Bacteriological and virological studies of the stools revealed presence of specific type of @entity526 in majority, and shigella, strepto- and staphylococci in a few cases. The incidence of @entity3147 is very high in acute @entity294 and the importance of correction of nutritional deficits cannot be over stressed. The great hope lies in prevention of @entity294 by improvement in nutrition of @entity1 , prevention of @entity3147 , improved sanitation, environmental conditions and health education.
