title: [Implementation of oral rehydration in gastroenteritis in infants].
abstract: The best treatment of the infant acute gastroenteritis, when it is applied at home, is oral rehydration. The latter should be limited in duration (between 12 to 24 hours at the longest), should be performed with a specifically prepared solution, should be administered in sufficient amount and should be followed with an early realimentation.
