A simple and rapid method for the diagnosis of steatorrhea is described. The method is based on the assessment of the difference of specific gravity and lipophilic property between a normal stool and that in steatorrhea, using a benzene-NaBr system. The stool samples are dried, pulverized, and then investigated. Steatorrhea is defined either as a fat or more in a 24-hour sample. Stool samples of 71 infants and children were examined. Among these were 23 healthy subjects, 10 with upper respiratory tract infections, and 6 with pneumonia. A further 31 children had celiac disease, 9 of them were on a gluten-free diet, and one child had cystic fibrosis. The procedure described renders single stool samples suitable for the assessment of steatorrhea. As a screening test the method proved to be rapid and accurate in the diagnosis of steatorrhea.
本文描述了一种诊断脂肪泻的简单快速方法。该方法基于使用苯 - 溴化钠系统评估正常粪便与脂肪泻粪便之间的比重和亲脂性差异。将粪便样本干燥、粉碎后进行检测。脂肪泻定义为24小时样本中脂肪含量达到或超过一定量。对71名婴幼儿和儿童的粪便样本进行了检查。其中有23名健康受试者，10名患有上呼吸道感染，6名患有肺炎。另有31名儿童患有乳糜泻，其中9名采用无麸质饮食，1名儿童患有囊性纤维化。所描述的方法使单个粪便样本适用于脂肪泻的评估。作为一种筛查试验，该方法在脂肪泻的诊断中被证明快速且准确。
