Three hundred and three children under 5 years old with acute measles and diarrhoea (cases) and 300 other age-matched children with diarrhoea (controls) were examined for enteroadherent E. coli (EAEC) and other agents including rotavirus and Cryptosporidium. EAEC was determined by tissue culture of HEP-2 cells. Other agents were determined by conventional methods. EAEC was identified from both cases and control accounting for 10.3% (31/303) and 15.2% (46/300) respectively. Other bacterial agents were: 10.3% (31/303) from cases and 12.8% (39/300) from controls. A higher detection rate of enteroparasites was found among cases 15% (45/300) than controls 8.9% (27/300) whereas rotavirus was the reverse, 3% (9/303) in cases and 30.3% (92/300) in controls. To our knowledge characterization of EAEC has not been done before and therefore might be attributing factor to some of our unexplained diarrhoeal cases.
对303名5岁以下患有急性麻疹和腹泻的儿童（病例组）以及300名其他年龄匹配的腹泻儿童（对照组）进行了肠黏附性大肠杆菌（EAEC）及其他病原体检测，这些病原体包括轮状病毒和隐孢子虫。通过HEP - 2细胞的组织培养来测定EAEC。其他病原体采用常规方法测定。在病例组和对照组中均检测出了EAEC，分别占10.3%（31/303）和15.2%（46/300）。其他细菌性病原体在病例组中的检出率为10.3%（31/303），在对照组中的检出率为12.8%（39/300）。病例组中肠道寄生虫的检出率（15%，45/300）高于对照组（8.9%，27/300），而轮状病毒的检出情况则相反，病例组为3%（9/303），对照组为30.3%（92/300）。据我们所知，此前尚未对EAEC进行过特征描述，因此它可能是导致我们一些不明原因腹泻病例的因素。
