One thousand three hundred and twenty-one samples from children from eight countries were evaluated for fecal levels of neopterin NEO , myeloperoxidase MPO , and alpha-anti-trypsin AAT.
Samples used in the growth analysis were restricted to stools from children with no history of diarrhea in the last 7 days or history of lactulose administration on the day of or before stool collection and for which complete anthropometric data were available.
