A 1-year prospective study was carried out in two large urban centers of São Paulo State, Brazil, to determine the prevalences and roles of the different Escherichia coli pathotypes in children less than 5 years of age with diarrhea presenting to the emergency rooms of public hospitals or visiting private pediatricians' offices. Of the pathotypes sought, typical enteroaggregative and atypical enteropathogenic types of E. coli were isolated for 8.9% and 5.4% of 774 diarrhea cases, respectively, and were found to be dominant and significantly associated with diarrhea.
在巴西圣保罗州的两个大型城市中心进行了一项为期1年的前瞻性研究,以确定不同大肠杆菌致病型在5岁以下因腹泻前往公立医院急诊室或就诊于私立儿科医生诊所的儿童中的患病率及作用。在所检测的致病型中,典型的肠聚集性大肠杆菌和非典型肠致病性大肠杆菌分别在774例腹泻病例中占8.9%和5.4%,且被发现占主导地位并与腹泻显著相关。
