title: Chronic excretion of enteropathogenic bacteria in the faeces--a possible association with allergy to cow's milk.
abstract: Two children with protracted gastrointestinal symptoms were found to be chronically excreting enteropathogenic bacteria in their faeces. Withdrawal of cows' milk protein from their diets resulted in clinical recovery and stool cultures became negative, suggesting that allergy to cows' milk may have contributed to their bacterial carrier state.
