Abstract
Enteric pathogens were studied in 104 cases with acute diarrhoea and in 74 age and sex matched concurrent controls. One or more pathogens were isolated from 59.1% of cases compared with 20.4% of controls (P less than 0.001). Single enteropathogens were detected in 33.7% and multiple enteropathogens in 25.4% of the cases. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), Campylobacter jejuni, rotavirus, Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli were the major pathogens detected. The high rate of isolation of EPEC from diarrhoea cases (23.1%) indicated a definite role for this pathogen in causing endemic diarrhoea in Bangladesh.Entities:
