Summary. Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of coronavirus diarrhea in 44 young
children who were treated at the Republican Clinical Infectious Diseases Hospital for the
period 2020-2021. In the age structure of children with coronavirus diarrhea, children over 1
year of age dominated 59.1%, children in the first year of life accounted for 40.9%. Of the
remaining hospitals, 56.8% were children who were diagnosed with an acute intestinal
infection. Coronavirus diarrhea in the examined children in 59.0% was combined with viral-
bacterial pneumonia. The diagnosis of coronavirus infection was confirmed by the detection
of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in swabs from the oropharynx and nasopharynx by polymerase chain
reaction (PCR). Quantitative determination of blood procalcitonin (PCT) was determined in
79.5% of patients with secretory diarrhea. As a result, the test showed that 11 (25.0%) children
had a course of coronavirus infection without bacterial complications. The disease generally
proceeded in a moderate form with a favorable outcome. As a result, it was found that
secretory diarrhea is one of the symptoms of coronavirus infection, and the severity of the
condition of patients with diarrhea is due to the frequent combination of viral-bacterial
pneumonia.
