141 children, aged 1 month to 3 years, admitted to an intensive care unit in a critical condition caused by severe acute intestinal infections revealed high levels of GOT, GPT, alkaline phosphatase, LDG, and CPK activity, the degree of increment and the form of combinations depending on the type of the condition. On the basis of enzymological investigations a diagnostic table has been compiled characterizing 6 forms of critical conditions most frequently observed in children with acute intestinal infections. This facilitates early diagnosis of critical conditions and makes it possible to perform timely and adequate intensive therapy.
