Abstract
The causes of diarrhoea were diagnosed in 250 children and 250 controls, a sample of 3,500 children who reported to the Rawalpindi General Hospital, Pakistan between May 1983 and April 1984.

Mixed infections were found in 2.4% of patients. The following pathogens were detected in controls: EPEC (14.0%), rotavirus (7.6%), G. lamblia (6.8%) and Entamoeba histolytica (3.2%).
