Gastroenteritis is most often viral in origin and Rotavirus and Norovirus most frequently implicated in young children. Stool-based multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) can detect bacteria, viruses or parasites that may or may not be responsible for gastroenteritis (colonization). While the etiological profile of these digestive infections has greatly benefited from PCR, in the absence of underlying pathologies the presence of potential pathogens does not justify anti-infectious treatment.

Department of Neonatology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Background: Lack of breast feeding is associated with higher morbidity and case-fatality from both bacterial and viral etiologic diarrheas. However, there is very limited data on the characteristics of non-breastfed infants attending hospital with diarrheal illnesses caused by common bacterial and viral pathogens. Our objective was to assess the impact of lack of breast feeding on diarrheal illnesses in infants living in urban Bangladesh.
