Aetiology and outcome of acute diarrhoea in children with severe acute malnutrition: a comparative study.

CONCLUSIONS: Rotavirus was found significantly less frequently, whereas DEC was detected more frequently in children with SAM in comparison to non-malnourished children. To further reduce diarrhoea-related mortality, preventive and therapeutic interventions need to be designed against organisms causing diarrhoea in children with SAM.
