title: Intestinal permeability in normally nourished and malnourished children with and without diarrhea.
abstract: We evaluated the association between diarrhea, malnutrition and intestinal function using the lactulose-mannitol test.  Our study showed that a third of all children have abnormal intestinal permeability, there was an expected increase of permeability in children with acute diarrhea and alteration in intestinal permeability was greater in children with concurrent malnutrition and diarrhea.
