Introduction: Acute diarrhea is fecal discharge >3 times in 24 hours occurring <14 days. Diarrhea is still a health problem in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the hematological profile in cases of acute diarrhea in children under five. The hematological profile can help diagnose acute diarrhea. Methods: This research method is a descriptive retrospective with data from the medical records of patients with acute diarrhea in children under five at Idaman Banjarbaru Hospital in July - October 2018. The sampling technique was carried out using consecutive sampling. Results: In this study, a sample of 109 children, 65 boys and 44 girls, were obtained. The results showed that 69.72% of the patients had anemia, and 62.39% had iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Leukocytosis and thrombocytosis were found in 16.51%, 23.85% of patients. Basophilia, eosinopenia, band neutropenia, segmented neutropenia, normal, lymphocytosis, monocytosis were found in 100%, 67%, 99%, 67%, 66%, 60%, respectively. IDA is found in 62.39% of children under five who suffer from acute diarrhea. Conclusion: Typical lab results are the presence of basophilia, eosinophenia, band neutropenia, lymphocytosis, and monocytosis.

Introduction: Typhoid fever is a disease caused by Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi A, B, C. An estimated 200,000 people die each year from about 21.6 million people infected with typhoid fever. This study aims to determine the hematological profile in typhoid fever cases in children under five at Idaman Banjarbaru Hospital. Methods: The research was carried out with a retrospective descriptive approach with a consecutive sampling technique. The research subjects were children under five diagnosed with typhoid fever recorded in the Idaman Banjarbaru Hospital's medical records for July 2018 to January 2019. Results: The sample consisted of 58 patients, 32 boys, and 26 girls. Most patients were found in 12 - <36 months, namely 28 (48.28%) children. Thirty-eight (65.52%) children have a normal weight. The hematological profile showed that 46.55% of the patients had iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Hematocrit levels decreased in 51.72% of patients. Erythrocyte levels in 86.21% of patients were normal. Low MCV, low MCH, IDA were found in 46.55%, 36.21%, 46.55% of patients. Leukopenia was present in 17.24% of children. All patients had normal basophil values. Eosinopenia, band neutropenia, segmented neutropenia, lymphocytosis, monocytosis were found in 69.09%, 90.90%, 56.37%, 58.18%, 58.18% of children, respectively. Thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis were found in the same percentage, 13.80%. Conclusion: The haematological profile of typhoid fever patients in children under five can have different results depending on each child's body's response to S. typhi and S. paratyphi that enter the body.
