Between 1981 and 1986, 1,540 infants born at the Central Women's Hospital in Rangoon were transferred to the Sick Baby Unit because of diarrhea (15.4 per 1,000 live births). Rates among cesarean infants were five times as high as those of infants born vaginally (51.0 and 10.3 per 1000 live births, respectively). One hundred eighty-four of the infants with diarrhea died (case fatality rate = 12 percent). We conclude that neonatal diarrhea is endemic in this large maternity hospital in Burma, and that control efforts should be targeted especially to cesarean and low birthweight infants.
1981年至1986年间,仰光中央妇女医院出生的1540名婴儿因腹泻被转至病婴病房(每1000例活产中有15.4例)。剖宫产婴儿的发病率是经阴道分娩婴儿的五倍(分别为每1000例活产中有51.0例和10.3例)。184名腹泻婴儿死亡(病死率=12%)。我们得出结论,缅甸这家大型妇产医院新生儿腹泻呈地方性流行,防控措施应特别针对剖宫产婴儿和低体重婴儿。
