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 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 tests whether special diets that change the bacteria in your gut can help treat anemia (low iron in the blood) in teenage girls. You would follow a diet plan for a while and have your blood checked to see if it improves your energy and health.
This study looks at how an H. pylori infection (a common stomach infection) may affect the growth of children aged 6 to 12. If your child has tested positive for H. pylori, this study could help understand how it impacts their height and weight.
This study looks at how intestinal parasite infections might affect malnutrition in children. It could help doctors understand if treating parasites can improve growth and nutrition in kids who are underweight or stunted.
