title: Chronic diarrhea in children of tropics.
abstract: Syndrome of prolonged diarrhea is quite frequent in tropical children. Careful clinical appraisal can help in separating these children into distinct clinical entities which have different underlying etiological factors. In most cases diagnosis is possible on clinical grounds supplemented by simple investigations. A step by step approach as outlined is extremely helpful in planning a rational management.
