[Experimental study of the development of the diarrhea syndrome using gas-liquid chromatography].

Gas liquid chromatography was made use of to examine the time course of elimination of low-molecular weight organic components with the diarrhea fluid under the effect of cholerae and salmonellosis toxins. The diarrhea fluid was shown to contain a great number of low-molecular weight metabolites some of which occur in noticeable concentrations. As a result of the action of the bacterial toxins. there appear metabolic disturbances that might be distributed into 4 types with regard to the time course of their development. The method under consideration enables the detection of disorders that occur within the latent period.
