description BackgroundThe overall effect of vitamin A supplementation on diarrheal disease in community trials may result from its effect on specific diarrheal pathogens MethodsWe conducted a placebo-controlled, double-blind trial of the prophylactic effect of vitamin A on gastrointestinal pathogen infections and clinical symptoms among 188 children in Mexico City, Mexico, from January 1998 to May 1999. Children 6–15 months of age were randomly assigned to receive either a vitamin A supplement (for children

Children 6–15 months of age were randomly assigned to receive either a vitamin A supplement (for children &lt;12 months of age, 20,000 international units [IU] of retinol; for children ⩾12 months of age, 45,000 IU of retinol) every 2 months or a placebo and were followed for up to 15 months. Stool samples, collected semimonthly, were screened for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), Shiga toxin–producing E. coli (STEC), enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), and Giardia lamblia ResultsVitamin A supplementation reduced the prevalence of EPEC infections (rate ratio [RR], 0.52 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0.23–0.86]) and led to shorter durations of both EPEC and ETEC infections. Supplementation also reduced the prevalence of EPEC-associated diarrhea (RR, 0.41 [95% CI, 0.16–1.00]), EPEC-associated fever (RR, 0.15 [95% CI, 0.02–0.98]), and G. lamblia–associated fever (RR, 0.27 [95% CI, 0.13–0.80]).
