Abstract
Diarrheal disease mortality data from the Pan American Health Organization (1,2) indicate that in 1976 in North America, diarrhea accounted for 1.4% and 0.9% of infant deaths in children less than 1 year of age and children 1 to 4 years of age, respectively. In tropical areas of America, diarrhea accounted for 15 to 23% of all infant deaths and 15 to 26% of deaths in children 1 to 4 years of age (table 1). In many areas of the world diarrhea remains the leading cause of death in infants and young children (2).
