ABSTRACT
Over a six months period, 1262 children with diarrhoea were studied prospectively at Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar. This accounted for 19.4% of total admissions in the Paediatric Unit during the study period. One hundred and ten stool samples of children with bloody diarrhoea/dysentery were evaluated for enteropathogens and their sensitivity pattern. Out of the 110 samples, 29 samples [26.36%] yielded bacterial growth, with Shigella in 19[17.27%], E.coli in 8 [7.27%] and Salmonella in 2 [1.82%]. All organisms were found to be resistant to Co-trimexazole, Ampicilin and gentamycin, while all, except one were found sensitive to Nalidixic acid
