Randomised controlled trial of the use of nitazoxanide versus placebo to treat gastroenteritis among Aboriginal children

土著儿童肠胃炎需要更好的治疗策略。目前，大多数治疗只是支持性的，对症状持续时间影响不大。Nitazoxanide似乎对引起胃肠炎的多种病原体都有作用，但目前尚不清楚它是否对这一人群有益。我们将比较硝唑尼特组和安慰剂组的症状缓解速度。

Better treatment strategies are needed for Indigenous children with gastroenteritis. At present, most treatment is supportive only, with little effect on the duration of symptoms. Nitazoxanide appears to have effects on a broad range of pathogens which cause gastroenteritis, but it is not clear whether it will be of benefit in this population. We will compare the speed of symptom resolution in children who receive nitazoxanide with a group who receive a placebo instead.
