The upper intestinal microflora was studied in 10 malnourished Indonesian children using the paediatric Enterotest Capsules. Trophozoites of Giardia lamblia were found in 2 specimens, profuse fungal mycelia in 3, and ascaris worms and eggs in 1. In 9 patients an abnormally profuse small intestinal bacterial flora was found. Provided precautions are taken to exclude artefactual contamination of the line on its withdrawal, this is a safe and simple method for studying the upper gut flora which could be applied to field conditions since it does not require radiological facilities.
使用儿科肠检胶囊对10名营养不良的印度尼西亚儿童的上消化道微生物群进行了研究。在2份样本中发现了蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫滋养体,3份样本中发现了大量真菌菌丝体,1份样本中发现了蛔虫和虫卵。在9名患者中发现小肠细菌菌群异常丰富。只要在取出导管时采取预防措施以排除人为污染,这就是一种安全、简单的研究上消化道菌群的方法,由于不需要放射设施,因此可应用于现场条件。
