Practical significance of inflammatory markers for infectious secretary diarrhea in children

In this article, the practical significance of determining markers of inflammation (blood procalcitonin, fecal calprotectin, fecal lactoferrin) for distinguishing infectious secretory from infectious invasive diarrhea, as well as from functional diarrhea of non-infectious genesis, is given in the article. A survey was conducted of 54 children aged 0 to 3 years hospitalized in an infectious disease's hospital with secretory viral diarrhea (rotavirus, astro-, adeno-, noro-, and enterovirus), for the period 2019-2020.
