In 100 infants and children with bacterial or viral infections determination of faecal fat was done. None of the patients showed signs of malabsorption prior to investigation. The faecal fat content is expressed as percent of the dry weight of the stool. A fat content of up to 14% of the dry weight of the stool can be regared as normal. A faecal fat content of 15 to 20% is indicative for an elevated fat excretion, and a fat content of more than 20% gives evidence for steatorrhoea. In 80% of the infants with bacterial and in 50% of the infants with viral infections steatorrhoea could be demonstrated. In children with bacterial infections 18% showed a normal, 69% an elevated fat excretion ain 13% there was a steatorrhoea. In children with viral infections 6% showed a normal fat excretion whereas 81% had an elevated excretion and 13% exhibited steatorrhoea. Thus viral infections compared with bacterial infections seem to cause disturbances of fat absorption more frequent. Whereas the degree of the disturbance seems ot be less intense in viral infections.
对100名患有细菌或病毒感染的婴幼儿进行了粪便脂肪测定。在调查前，没有一名患者表现出吸收不良的迹象。粪便脂肪含量以粪便干重的百分比表示。粪便干重中脂肪含量高达14%可视为正常。粪便脂肪含量为15%至20%表明脂肪排泄增加，脂肪含量超过20%则提示脂肪泻。80%的细菌感染婴幼儿和50%的病毒感染婴幼儿可证实有脂肪泻。细菌感染儿童中，18%的粪便脂肪排泄正常，69%增加，13%有脂肪泻。病毒感染儿童中，6%的粪便脂肪排泄正常，81%增加，13%有脂肪泻。因此，与细菌感染相比，病毒感染似乎更常导致脂肪吸收障碍。而病毒感染时这种障碍的程度似乎较轻。
