During a 54-week period, faecal samples taken from 350 children under 5 years of age, who were admitted with acute diarrhoea to the infectious diseases ward of a Sydney hospital, were examined for pathogens. Rotavirus was detected as the sole agent in the specimens of 58 patients (16.6%), enteroviruses in those of 26 patients (7.4%), salmonellae in those of 19 patients (5.4%) and Campylobacter jejuni in those of 15 patients (4.3%). Shigellae were not detected. The results are discussed and, in view of the changing patterns of infection, it is suggested that there is a continuing need for research into the causes of enteritis in Australia.
在为期54周的时间里，对350名5岁以下因急性腹泻入住悉尼一家医院传染病病房的儿童的粪便样本进行了病原体检测。在58名患者（16.6%）的样本中检测到轮状病毒为唯一病原体，26名患者（7.4%）的样本中检测到肠道病毒，19名患者（5.4%）的样本中检测到沙门氏菌，15名患者（4.3%）的样本中检测到空肠弯曲菌。未检测到志贺氏菌。对结果进行了讨论，鉴于感染模式的变化，建议澳大利亚仍需继续研究肠炎的病因。
