Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the causal association of enteric viruses with a random sample of infantile diarrhoea in Egypt.
For this purpose 115 stool specimens were collected from 85 diarrhoeal cases in infants below 2 years of age and 30 non-diarrhoeal control group.
Stool specimens were examined by electron microscopy (EM) to detect different types of enteric viruses, while Enzyme-Linked-Immune-Sorbent-Assay (ELISA) and Immunofluorescence assay (FA) were done to detect rotavirus.
To exclude other enteropathogens, classical- bacteriological tests and direct microscopical examination of stool specimens were made to identify the common pathogenic bacteria and parasites which may be involved
in cases of diarrhoea.
In this study the most commonly found pathogen was enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) (present in 22.3% of cases and in 10% of controls) followed by rotavirus (present in 18.8% of cases and in 3.3% of controls).
