[Acute gastroenteritis caused by rotavirus (author's transl)].
A prospective study of 87 children hospital admitted for acute gastroenteritis [AGE] with ages between 24 days and three years and a control group of 32 children with ages between six months and three years, is presented. In all cases a virological study of stools is made by electron microscopy [E/M]. In 63 percent of the 87 patients with AGE, viruses were isolated, being rotavirus the most common, 45.9 percent, a similar incidence as that found in developed countries. The clinical course and analytical findings within the groups with viral and non-viral AGE do not show significant differences. Special stress is set upon the reliability of the E/M technique on the stools for rotavirus induced AGE diagnosis, due to the good correlation with clinical data, presence of seroconversion and the finding of virus in duodenal juice. Results of intestinal biopsy in a certain group of children are shown.

[Therapeutic guides in hypertonic dehydration (author's transl)].
Physiopathology of hypertonic dehydration is revised. The bases of treatment are discussed; they are based on: 1. Basal requirements of fluids. 2. Slow correction of deficit. 3. Replacement of maintaining losses. Total fluids support will carry to rehydration in 2 or 3 days. In the most severe cases peritoneal dialysis is associated. The indications, technique and realization of peritoneal dialysis during hypertonic dehydration are discussed.

[Etiology of hypertonic dehydration (author's transl)].
A revision of the ethiology in hypertonic dehydration of 80 infants admitted in the Clínica Infantil "La Paz", between 1972--1973 is made. The most important ethiological factors were: hyperconcentrated food (86% in neonates), vomiting, diarrhoea, increase of insensible water loss (respiratory, fever). The etiopathogenic and physiopathologic bases of hyperconcentrated diet in the development of hypertonic dehydration in accordance with "solute overload" to neonatal kidney are discussed. The autoperpetuation mechanisms of hypertonic dehydration are also discussed.

[Clinical evolution and severe complications of hypertonic dehydration in 80 infants (author's transl)].
Authors analyse incidence of age, sex and weight in a group of 80 infants with severe hypertonic dehydration. The highest frequency occurs in the first month of life (50%). They study the clinical manifestations of dehydration, neurological condition, diuresis, escleremia, other pathology, complications and mortality. Causes of death are detailed. Peculiar clinical manifestations are discussed according to different ages, emphasising importance of E.C. component in the first weeks of life. Efficiency of peritoneal dialysis is evaluated.

[Treatment and evolution of shock and acidosis in hypertonic dehydration (author's transl)].
Authors analyse treatment and clinical and analytical evolution of 80 patients with hypertonic dehydration, depending on shock and acidosis. Several considerations concerning treatment and its' influence on evolution of different patients, emphasizing both therapeutic methods: with or without use of peritoneal dialysis, according to the values of initial natraemia, are made.

[Metabolic evolution of hypertonic dehydration treated with fluidotherapy: revision of 40 infants (author's transl)].
Authors study the metabolic evolution of osmolarity, natraemia, chloremia, kaliemia and uremia of 40 infants with hypertonic dehydration. They divide the serie into two groups in accordance with initial value of natraemia: more or less than 170 mEq./l. The slow average decreases by hour of osmolarity, natraemia and chloremia were evaluated, and that justifies good evolution of hypertonic dehydration and minimal neurological repercussion found. Renal function in this metabolic condition is discussed. The usefulness of the fluidotherapic technique employed is demonstrated.

[Metabolic evolution of hypertonic dehydration with combined treatment of fluidotherapy and peritoneal dialysis: revision of 22 infants (author's transl)].
Metabolic evolution of osmolarity, natraemia, chloremia, kaliemia and uremia of 22 infants with severe hypertonic dehydration, treated with fluidotherapy and peritoneal dialysis, is revised. Peritoneal dialysis was prepared in accordance with a special method for this metabolic condition. The serie was divided into two groups, according to initial value of natraemia: more or less than 170 mEq./l. Average decreases per hour of osmolarity, natraemia and chloremia were evaluated, as well as the influence of peritoneal dialysis on body fluids composition. Indication of peritoneal dialysis specially prepared for severe cases is discussed.

[Local incidence of different types of dehydration (author's transl)].
A total of 2,298 dehydrated infants, among 9,674 infants admitted to Emergency Unit and Intensive Care Unit of Clinica Infantil "La Paz" between 1970--1974 are analyzed. The annual incidence of the different types of hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic dehydration is studied. The peculiarities of the data are discussed and compared with those described by other authors. High incidence of hypertonic dehydration (25.4%) is emphasized.

[Epidemiologic comments on hypertonic dehydration in Madrid (author's transl)].
The epidemiologic factors are studied in 584 cases of Hypertonic Dehydration (H.D.) admitted to the Children's Clinic "La Paz" over a period of 5 years. The overall monthly mean (MMT) resulted in 9.75 children a month with a standard deviation of +/- 2.1. The overall monthly evolution is analysed according to the sex, the seasonal incidence, as well as the more relevant etiologic factors: Concentrated diet, diarrhoea, vomiting, respiratory pathology and fever. The epidemiologic peculiarities are discussed according to age.
