[Remarkable microbial findings in the small intestine mucosa of children].

In intestinal specimens of children repeatedly attacked by enteritis electron microscopic investigations were practiced. In 26% of biopsies mycosis was found and in 72% a bacterial infection of the intestinal mucosa. We found narrow contacts between the infectious agents and the mucosa by electron microscopic evaluation (adhesion, penetration, partly thick layers). The microbes found are suitable to maintain the recurring cases of diarrhoea. Our results demand an exact antibiotic and antimycotic therapy.
