Anemia and growth in kids with stomach bug
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how common anemia (low iron levels) is in children with acute gastroenteritis (stomach bug), and how their growth is affected. It helps doctors understand if more blood tests or growth checks are needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 month and 2 years old.
- Your child must have acute gastroenteritis (sudden vomiting and/or diarrhea).
- Your child must not have diarrhea that has lasted longer than 2 weeks.
- Your child must not have a chronic (long-term) illness besides the stomach bug.

This study checks if young children with malnutrition also have intestinal parasite infections. It aims to understand how common these infections are, which could help guide better treatment and prevention for children who are not growing or developing well.
This study looks at whether a mother's low iron (with or without anemia) affects her baby's iron levels at birth. It aims to help understand how to better protect both mothers and newborns.
This study looks at whether iron deficiency anemia affects how babies and toddlers (6 to 24 months old) develop their thinking, learning, and behavior. It compares children who have iron-deficiency anemia with those who do not, to help doctors understand the impact on early brain development.
This study tests whether a special young child formula can help improve iron levels in children ages 1 to 3 who are either healthy or have mild anemia. It may help prevent or manage low iron without needing supplements.
This study compares two types of IV fluids commonly used to rehydrate young children with gastroenteritis (stomach flu with diarrhea and vomiting). Researchers want to see which fluid works better and causes fewer problems.
This study looks at whether intestinal parasite infections contribute to malnutrition in children. If your child is between 2 and 15 years old and either malnourished or healthy, they may be able to help researchers understand this link.
