Seventeen pediatricians and 34 general practitioners (GP) randomly selected in the closest area around Edouard-Herriot hospital (Lyon, France) were questioned regarding socio-economic status of families of infants who were treated for non severe acute diarrhea (loss of weight less than 10% of the initial body weight, no dehydration), and gave a copy of their prescription. During the same period, information was collected on outpatients as well as hospitalized cases of non severe acute diarrhea. Results show that in 3 months, GPs treated approximately 500 cases of non severe acute diarrhea, pediatricians 230 and the hospital 64. Oral rehydration was prescribed in 16% of diarrhea treated by GPs and 50% of those treated by pediatricians. The socio-economic status of families treated by pediatricians differed widely from those treated by GPs as well as those cared for in hospital. Vomiting as an argument for admission was found in 55% of referrals.
