One thousand one hundred and ninety-five samples from 246 children were evaluated for fecal levels of neopterin, myeloperoxidase, and alpha-1-antitrypsin. Samples used in the growth analysis were restricted to stools from children with no history of diarrhea in the last 7 days or history of lactulose administration on the day of or before stool collection and for which complete anthropometric data were available.
