title: [Infectious gastroenteritis in childhood (author's transl)].
abstract: Stool specimens from 126 children with acute gastroenteritis and from 42 controls were screened bacteriologically and virologically including electron-microscopy. Rota viruses were found in 36.5% of the children with diarrhoea, enteropathogenic E. coli in 13.5% and candida in 7.1%. These pathogens were not found in the controls. Enteroviruses were found in almost the same frequency in both groups (13.5% in children with gastroenteritis, 16.6% in the controls). The etiologic role of adenoviruses, which could be seen in 5.6% of the diarrhoea group, remains unexplained.
