Providing proper education to mothers about oralrehydration therapy with special emphasis on the volume of ORS to begiven, along with guidance to improve their personal hygiene should beconsidered important interventions in reducing the risk of dehydration anddeaths from diarrhoea in these children.Address:Department of Tropical Pediatrics,Faculty of Tropical Medicine,Mahidol University,Bangkok,Thailand.8.

Trans-R-Soc-Trop-Med-Hva. 85(6): 824-8.Abstract:Trachoma is prevalent in many arid areas but data assessing therelationship between water use and trachoma are very scarce. This studycompared 18 families having one or more active trachoma cases amongthe children with 16 trachoma-free families in the same village with respectto water use. Potential confounders such as family size, distance to watersource, socio-economic indicators, and hygiene behaviour were assessedin the 2 groups. The families with trachoma were found to use significantlyless water per person per day for washing children than did the controlhttp://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/cv/wedc/garnet/hybnews.html (15 of 20) [1/13/2005 12:50:12 PM]
