ABSTRACT
A hospital stool survey of Indonesian children less than 5 years of age determined the prevalence of diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and other bacterial enteropathogens, compared to non-diarrheic control patients. ETEC were the second most frequent cause of diarrhea, isolated from 16 of 194 (8.2%) of patient's stools compared to 2 of 97 (2.1%) of control stools. The highest prevalence was in infants 12 to 23 months of age (17.9%).
