چکیده
Pathogenic E.coli (61%) and Rotavirus(7%) were found in diarrhoeal stools of children. Amongst pathogenic E. coli enteropathogenic E. coil was mainly isolated which was sensitive to gentamycin. Infection due to pathogenic E. coil and Rotavirus was more among males upto one year of age (JPMA 35:326, 1985). INTRODUCTION E. coli and Rotavirus have been frequently found in infantile diarrhoea. The present study was done to determine the importance of these two pathogens in diarrhoeal disease in our patient population.
