Recently WHO and UNICEF issued a joint statement revising guidelines for clinical management of diarrhoea. These updated recommendations take into account new research findings showing the beneficial effects of oral rehydration salts (ORS) containing lower concentrations of glucose and salts and of zinc supplementation. In combination with prevention and treatment of dehydration with appropriate fluids, breastfeeding, continued feeding and selective use of antibiotics, these two advances can drastically diminish the number of child deaths by reducing the duration and severity of diarrhoeal episodes and lowering their incidence. The purpose of this report is to present the research findings that demonstrated the efficacy of zinc supplementation in the management of diarrhoea and led to revision of WHO/UNCEF guidelines.
最近，世界卫生组织和联合国儿童基金会发表了一份联合声明，修订腹泻临床管理指南。这些更新后的建议考虑到了新的研究结果，这些结果显示了含有较低葡萄糖和盐浓度的口服补液盐（ORS）以及补锌的有益效果。与使用适当液体预防和治疗脱水、母乳喂养、继续喂养以及选择性使用抗生素相结合，这两项进展能够通过缩短腹泻病程、减轻腹泻严重程度并降低其发病率，大幅减少儿童死亡人数。本报告的目的是介绍那些证明补锌在腹泻管理中有效性并促使世界卫生组织/联合国儿童基金会修订指南的研究结果。
