The results were analyzed by SPSS software, version 23 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: A total of 1, 029 cases were reviewed. 60% were boys. The highest incidence of diarrhea (75. 5%) was observed at 12-24 months and the lowest rate of diarrhea was under 6 months (11. 5%). The frequency of diarrhea was lower in winter than in other seasons. Only 31. 49% of children received proper and rational treatment with antibiotics. The most commonly used antibiotics in hospitalized patients were ceftriaxone (94. 5%) and before hospitalization was cefixime (39. 5%). Based on the results of this study, it was found that 66. 13% of children younger than 5 years with acute diarrhea had appropriate treatment. 31. 94% of patients had inappropriate antibiotic therapy. Conclusion: In most cases of acute diarrhea in children, no evidence of bacterial or parasitic infection was found. However, a high percentage of patients received antibiotics without laboratory evidence (stool testing).
