Seven cases of watery diarrhea of explosive onset, three of them ending within two weeks, are discussed. The cause of diarrhea is believed to be the presence of an organism called Cyanobacteriumlike organism. These are non-refractile, spherical bodies, 8-9 micrometers in diameter, which take on a faint to deep pink color after modified kinyoun acid-fast staining. Risk factors such as travel to and from warm regions, and water as a possible source of infection are briefly discussed.
讨论了7例起病急骤的水样腹泻病例,其中3例在两周内痊愈。腹泻的病因被认为是一种名为类蓝藻生物的有机体的存在。这些是不可折射的球形物体,直径为8 - 9微米,经改良金胺酚抗酸染色后呈现出淡粉色至深粉色。还简要讨论了往返温暖地区旅行以及水可能作为感染源等危险因素。
