Stools from acute diarrhoea were investigated for bacterial and viral pathogens. In one study involving 63 young children in a paediatric ward, 70% of the stools were positive for the pathogens looked for of which 37% contained bacteria, 22% viruses and 11% mixed cultures of bacteria and viruses. In another study in which 130 watery stools from routine specimens of patients of all ages were investigated, 36% were positive for pathogens with 11% bacteria, 18% viruses and 7% mixed pathogens. The high incidence of bacterial diarrhoea in young children was attributed to gastroenteritis caused by Salmonella species. Salmonella and rotavirus were found the most common pathogens in bacterial and viral diarrhoeas, and the most susceptible age group was under 5 years-old.
