A study was conducted with the participation of 100 children between 0 and 2 years of age from 6 medical offices of the family doctor which belong to the "19 de Abril" teaching polyclinics and who were taken to consultation because of an acute diarrheal disease without treatment. Patients were prescribed oral rehydration salts. Females predominated, as well as the age group of 4-11 months. Most of them presented with a good nutritional status between percentile 3 and 10. None of the patients required hospitalization because of dehydration; 8 cases were admitted due to other causes. Most of the parents knew about oral rehydration salts, but only one group used them spontaneously. The majority of parents had a mid-educational level.
