The effectiveness of C1-433 versus entero-vioform in the control of diarrhoeal disease

ABSTRACT

The data indicate that CI-433 was as well accepted as entero-vioform. A comparison between CI-433 and entero-vioform on day 5 for control of diarrhoea indicated no significant difference in the average consistency of stools or in the average number of stools. However, on day 10, entero-vioform showed a better average consistency in stools and also a smaller average number ofstools per day. Stool examination on day 5 for the two medication groups showed CI-433 had eliminated E.histolytica in a higher proportion of patients than did entero-vioform; CI-433 eliminated G.lamblia in the same proportion of patients as, entero-vioform; and CI-433 eliminated less in Shigella patients than entero-vioform. On day 10 entero-vioform, when compared to CI-433 (day 5), was slightly more effective in the elimination of E.histolytica, G.lamblia and Shigella (AU)
