Abstract

Diarrhea in children is still one of the ten major  diseases in chirldren. Diarrhea can cause undernutrition, while the undernutrition itself can also cause diarrhea. Until the year of 2000, the prevalence of diarrhe had been decreased, but due to multidimentional crisis it increased up to 27.5% in 2003. Giving the drugs which directly stop  the diarrhea are not recommended, while knowing the definite cause of diarrehea to find the causative treatment still needsseveral days. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) which contained medium chain saturated fitty acid was used because of its contains of lauric acid and capriac acid, which had antibacterial, antiviral and antiprotozoal action. It also could increase nutritional absorbtion without using enzyme. This longitudinal study was done to know the the profile of duration of diarrhea in children who treated with VCO as an alternative therapy without waiting for laboratory result. Among 42 children under 5 years old who observed in this study, 37 and 5 of them were suffered of acute and chronic diarrhea respectively.
