Summary:Acute diarrhoea, with a remarkable etiologic, clinic and epidemiologic polymorphism represents, for various reasons, an important concern for health preservation both in industrialised countries and, mainly, in the developing ones. It is that, at world level, 1.2-1.5 milliards of diarrhoea episodes, of which 750-950 millions in children, causing death in over 4 millions aged 0-5 years, are recorded. In Romania, although the real data of morbidity by acute diarrhoea are not known, the reports show a significant decrease in the past 10 years. In 1993, 420.2 cases at 100,000 inhabitants were reported, the most commonly affected being the children age 0-4 years. In Moldavia (Romania), numerous extensive studies on the epidemiology of acute diarrhoea have been carried out. This paper present and aims rendering evident some epidemiological aspects of acute diarrhoea cases reported in the interval 1985-1994 in Iaşi County and town.
