Reovirus-like agent and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infections in pediatric diarrhea in the Philippines.

Of 82 children hospitalized with diarrhea in the Philippines during January-June 1976, 14 (17%) had infections due to a reovirus-like agent as determined by detection of viral particles in stools by electron microscopy (12 [15%] of 82) and/or by a rise in titer of antibody to the serologically related Nebraska calf diarrhea virus (eight [20%] of 39). Escherichia coli producing heat-labile enterotoxin were found in six (7%) of 82 ill children and two (4%) of 49 healthy control children, while E. coli producing heat-stable enterotoxin were isolated from three children with diarrhea and two without gastroenteritis.
