ABSTRACT
During a 21-month period from April 1974 to February 1976, 948 children with gastroenteritis were studied. Aetiologic agents were identified in 43% of these patients. Isolates were identified as follows V. cholera El Tor, 273 (67%); Salmonella enteritidis, 64 (16%); enteropathogenic E. coli, 28 (7%); Shigella, 28 (7%); Vibrio (NAG), 9 (2%) and V. parahaemolyticus, 7,2%). Gastroenteritis with dehydration is a serious continuing pediatric problem in Jakarta, constituting 30% of admissions to Sumber Waras hospital. The incidence of both cholera and salmonellosis increased during the past 2 years, as judged by the distribution of enteric bacteria isolated from the rectal swabs of gastroenteritis patients in Sumber Waras hospital.
