In a study made on the value of proctoscopy in diarrheal disorders of infancy, 82 randomly selected patients admitted to the University of Santo Tomas Hospital from May 1983 to July 1983 were studied. Of the 82 patients, 65 were cases of diarrhea and the remaining 17 patients served as the control. The diarrhea group had been classified into infectious and non-infectious based on the results of the bacteriologic and viral studies on fecal samples. The infectious group was further subdivided into toxigenic and tissue-invasive according to the etiologic agent isolated. All of the patients underwent improvised proctoscopy and the appearance of the rectal mucosa was noted. In the control group, 16 (94.1%) had pink rectal mucosa and only 1 (5.8%) was noted to have erythematous mucosa. Of the 9 patients belonging to the tissue-invasive subgroup, 8 (88.8%) had erythema and bleeding of the mucosa, while 1 (11%) had only erythema. In contrast, those in toxigenic diarrhea subgroup showed erythema in 6 (85.5%) and pink mucosa in 1 (14.2%) of 7 cases. None showed erythema plus bleeding of the rectal mucosa. In the non-infectious group on the other hand, 27 (55%) had normal-looking pink mucosa and 22 (44.8%) showed only erythema of the rectal mucosa. 1. Arrange the above information in a concise tabular form showing all relevant totals and subtotals.
