ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF GAS-LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE INTESTINAL INFECTIONS IN CHILDREN AGED 0-3 YEARS

Аннотация

Resume: 130 children aged 0-3 years with a diagnosis of “Acute intestinal infection” were under observation. The children under supervision were divided into two groups: the main group and the control group. The main group consisted of children born by caesarean section, and the control group consisted of children born physiologically. In both groups, the spectrum and amount of short-chain fatty acids in the intestinal microflora were studied using gas-liquid chromatography. The gas-liquid chromatography method is a common method for determining intestinal microflora metabolites. This method is based on the detection of short-chain fatty acids in faeces. This method allows not only to correctly assess the state of intestinal microbiocenosis, but also to identify the pathology that led to its disruption and choose a differentiated treatment. Gas-liquid chromatography is a biochemical method in which the waste products of microorganisms are determined in faeces, on the basis of which the quantitative and qualitative ratio of bacteria is determined.
