Fig. 2. Number of stools per day in study groups. At base line, the number of stools per day was higher in the supplemented group (5.7 ± 2.6) than in the control group (5.0 ± 2.1, p = 0.14), and was similar on day 3 (2.6 ± 1.2 in the supplemented group, 2.9 ± 1.6 in the control group). Since children who recovered ceased to attend the Pediatric Clinic, in the supplemented group, there were 33 children on day 1, 27 on day 2, and 12 on day 3. In the control group there were 32 children on day 1, 30 on day 2, and 17 on day 3. Data are presented for both groups as Mean ± Standard Deviation.
