Serum zinc levels were measured in three groups of children aged 6 months to 6 years. In group I, there were 25 children with diarrhoea, who had a history of measles within the 2 weeks preceding the zinc level tests (post-measles diarrhoea); in group II there were 17 children who had diarrhoea only; and in group III there were 20 children who were apparently healthy and had neither diarrhoea nor measles (controls). Serum zinc concentrations of less than 5 mumol/l were observed in 5 out of 16 children in group I, but none of the children in group II had such low levels. The serum zinc level in group II rose significantly during the recovery stage compared to the acute stage (P less than 0.01). Children with post-measles diarrhoea showed a continued and prolonged depression of serum zinc levels.
