The duodenal bacterial population was determined qualitatively and quantitatively in 3 groups of infants with diarrhoeal disease of varying duration. Infants with acute self limiting diarrhoea (group 1) had an abnormal overgrowth of organisms in the upper small bowel which was similar to that found in infants whose diarrhoea persisted after 4 days in hospital (group 2). The total duodenal organism count in infants with diarrhoea persisting after 7 days in hospital (group 3) was almost 100 times greater than either of the other groups. The findings may have important implications in preventing persistent diarrhoea from becoming protracted.
对三组患有不同病程腹泻疾病的婴儿的十二指肠细菌群落进行了定性和定量测定。患有急性自限性腹泻的婴儿（第1组）在上段小肠中出现了微生物异常过度生长，这与腹泻在住院4天后仍持续的婴儿（第2组）中发现的情况相似。腹泻在住院7天后仍持续的婴儿（第3组）的十二指肠微生物总数几乎比其他两组中的任何一组都大100倍。这些发现可能对预防持续性腹泻发展为迁延性腹泻具有重要意义。
