摘要
为探求中南地区腹泻病因学及流行病学特征,自1983年6—10月至1984年6—10月,在代表性的市、县,对9189例腹泻病人进行了研究。现将结果报告如下:
9189 diarrhea cases from central-south China were studied in 1983-1984. The results indicated that the most common etiologic agents of diarrhea were rotavirus in largeand median-sized cities and Shigella (group B) in small cities and rural areas.Although rotaviruses were detected Predominantely in children under 5 Years of age,one third of the cases of rotavirus enterocolitis were found in young people (20—30 years old).E.Coli were the third pathogenic agent in that part of China,thus profound research should be done on ETEC and EIEC. Diarrhea caused by mixed infection seemed to be a pressing problem in diarrhea investigation,for its incidence was rather high and a number of its etiologic age- nts had not been identified yet.
