The aetiology of acute gastroenteritis was studied in 50 infants and young children. Bacterial pathogens were isolated in 33, enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), Salmonella, and Shigella being the commonest isolates. Rotaviruses were detected in the stools of 13 of the cases. All children with gastroenteritis in whom rotavirus was detected were seen during the months July to December. In 30 children who served as controls, EPEC were isolated in 6, but rotavirus was detected in none. It is concluded that infection with rotaviruses is a significant cause of morbidity in children with gastroenteritis in southern India.
对50名婴幼儿的急性肠胃炎病因进行了研究。33例分离出细菌病原体,其中致病性大肠杆菌(EPEC)、沙门氏菌和志贺氏菌是最常见的分离菌。13例患儿粪便中检测出轮状病毒。所有检测出轮状病毒的肠胃炎患儿均在7月至12月期间就诊。在30名作为对照的儿童中,6例分离出EPEC,但未检测出轮状病毒。结论是,轮状病毒感染是印度南部肠胃炎患儿发病的一个重要原因。
