title: [Treatment of intractable diarrhea in infancy with human milk (author's transl)].
abstract: Progressive, severe diarrhea in a Turkish infant, beginning at age of 6 weeks, was refractory to conventional therapy, including casein hydrolysate and total parenteral nutrition. At age of 9 months, human milk as sole food together with small doses of prednisone was started. During the next 7 months of feeding human milk, body weight of the infant rose from 4750 to 7000 g and the stools became normal.
