Oral rehydration with salt and sugar solution for diarrhea seems to have been widely used in China for more than 20 years. Surveys in five rural counties in widely distributed provinces have revealed that over 90 per cent of barefoot doctors and county doctors have been using a simple salt and sugar solution. Thirty-four per cent of mothers also said they used the oral solution. By contrast, most urban hospitals, especially teaching hospitals, continued to rely on intravenous (I-V) fluids. It had been previously observed that China has had high morbidity but low mortality from diarrheal diseases. Part of the explanation undoubtedly is the relatively good nutritional status of children and the widespread use of liquid traditional medicines. The finding that barefoot doctors have been using oral rehydration also may help explain the low mortality.
