[Scanning electron microscopy of microbes and their mechanism of attachment to human small intestinal mucosa].
In connection with the electron-microscopy of bioptic material from the upper small intestine of children with intestinal diseases and diarrhea (10 months to 8 years) we found some cases of fungus infection (26%) besides many cases of bacterial attachment to the intestinal epithelium (72%). On the intestinal wall normal yeasts, pseudomycelium and common mycelium are visible. Partly the epithelium was entirely covered with mycelium. In some cases the hyphae invaded in the intestinal wall. The epithelium and the villi are not or only slightly altered. This gives the reason to believe that the fungi participate in inducing diarrhea. After medicamentous treatment with nystatine-preparations in some cases the health state of these children was improved.
