Abstract
The aim of the research: to study the structure and epidemiological features of chronic diarrhea in children in different age periods. Materials and methods: data on outpatient cases of children and inpatient care with diseases that are clinically manifested by chronic diarrhea syndrome were analyzed. A survey of 1509 children of different ages was also conducted at an outpatient appointment with a pediatrician on the day of a healthy child, in preschool and educational institutions in the city of Samara. Results of the study: as a result of the study, it was revealed that in the structure of gastroenterological pathology in children, diseases manifested by chronic diarrhea account for 1.8%, while at the outpatient stage, unspecified diseases are more common. Among the children surveyed, it was found that clinical manifestations of chronic diarrhea were observed in 53.4% of cases at the time of the survey, while among these children, only 8% had a gastroenterological diagnosis that explained chronic diarrhea. Slightly less than half of the children surveyed had the so-called causal nature of chronic diarrhea. Conclusion: The relevance of the problem of chronic diarrhea in childhood is confirmed by the data of its high prevalence. It has been shown that insufficient attention is paid to the problem of chronic diarrhea - the registered prevalence is at least 5 times lower than the real one. Particular attention should be paid to children with cause-related diarrhea, and restriction of the use of cause-significant products stops clinical manifestations and leads to a decrease in seeking medical help.
