| | Acute body weight changes provide the best measures of dehydration in a child (Duggan et al., 1996 [C]; Gorelick, Shaw, and Murphy, 1997 [C]). | | | Note 3 : The vast majority of patients with acute gastroenteritis do not develop clinically important lactose intolerance. | | | CLINICAL ALGORITHM(S) Two clinical algorithms are presented: (1) a decision tool for helping decide when to obtain stool cultures and when a child may benefit from antimicrobial therapies, and (2) a logical approach for the evaluation and care of a child with acute gastroenteritis. |

| Â | BioMed Central Full text Pancreatic hyperamylasemia during acute gastroenteritis: incidence and clinical relevance |
| | In three cases amylasememia was found over four times the normal range (460 UI/L, 520 UI/L and 1560 UI/L, respectively) but only one case (amylase 1560 UI/L) had the clinical features of acute pancreatitis (typical pain with radiation, and poor response to normal analgesics and antispastic drugs). | | | The pain, strictly correlated with the course of gastroenteritis, was mainly localised in the central abdomen, without radiation and with a good responsiveness to antispatic drugs. | | | Our clinical findings, as well as those reported by other authors, do not seem to confirm this hyphothesis, since pancreatic enlargement and overt acute pancreatitis has been demonstrated in the setting of acute gastroenteritis [ 2, 7 ]. |

| | Further research on the utility of drug therapy in acute gastroenteritis and the use of oral rehydration is needed. | | | In particular, the usefulness of drug therapy for acute gastroenteritis needs to be examined more closely. | | | This parameter was designed to aid physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and other health care providers who care for children with acute diarrheal disease in outpatient and inpatient settings. |

| | The 17-item questionnaire consisted of three parts: demographic information, knowledge about the management of acute gastroenteritis in infants and children, and information about the pediatricians own treatment practices. | | | However, although the current AAP guidelines recommend continuing full-strength feeds in an infant with acute gastroenteritis, 67 percent of those surveyed did not recommend this practice. | | | Almost all of the physicians surveyed (93 percent) knew that oral rehydration solution was better than other clear liquids for the management of acute gastroenteritis, and 86 percent knew it could be used even if the patient was vomiting. |

| | There were no major seasonal differences in gastroenteritis incidence between States, except in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, where the relative importance of rotavirus in the gastroenteritis disease burden may be somewhat reduced. | | | Variation in treatment practices between States may be worth studying in greater detail as another source of potential savings. | | | However, many studies have shown that at least 30% of hospital admissions for acute gastroenteritis in young children are the result of rotavirus infection and, further, that the incidence of rotavirus infection has a distinctive cyclical pattern with a peak in winter (this is unique to rotavirus among all major pathogens associated with gastroenteritis). |
