Background: Diarrhea is an important health problem among HIV-infected patients.

One to three controls for MSD cases and one per LSD case were enrolled and matched by age, sex, and neighborhood. All children were tested for HIV. Clinical data, anthropometric data, and stool samples were collected. Follow-up was performed at 60 days.Results: Two hundred and fourteen MSD cases and 418 controls, together with 349 LSD cases and 214 controls were tested.
