The Course of Acute Intestinal Infections in Children Associated with Candidiasis Infection

Abstract

This study examines the clinical progression of acute intestinal infections (AII) in children aged 6 months to 3 years, who were hospitalized for diarrhea of unclear origin linked to candidiasis infection. The indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum antibiotics is recognized as a factor contributing to the proliferation of Candida spp. The correlation between Candida spp. and severe diarrhea leads to persistent intoxication, intestinal impairment, and an extended recovery duration.
