In 86.5% of cases there was II or III stage of HIV infection. Significant differences in diarrhea in children with HIV infection com- pared with children with diarrhea without HIV infection were found in terms of the following signs: the presence of dehydration (70.5% and 50.6% of cases, re- spectively) and its severity (18.8% and 7.3% of cases, respectively, p < 0.05), the frequency of episodes of diarrhea per day more than 15 times (37.9% and 17.4%, p < 0.05) and its duration more than 6 days (56.3% and 32 .8%, p < 0.05), watery stools (39.5% and 25.9%, p < 0.05), foul-smelling feces (45.2% and 29.1%, p < 0, 05), green color (58.6% and 37.2%, p < 0.05) and the presence of pathological impurities in the form of blood (37.5% and 12.6%, p < 0.05) and pus (59 .8% and 23.1%, p < 0.05).
