ABSTRACT:   86 children ranging from one to three years old with diarrhoea from Yangon Children's Hospital and respective controls were included in this study. Isolation rates of major pathogens responsible for acute diarrhoea in children were Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) 8.1% , Salmonella 1.2%, Shigella sonnei 1.2%, Plesiomonas 1.2% and vibrios 1.2%. In the control group the prevalence was found to be ETEC 9.3%, EPEC 7.0%, Salmonella 12.0% , S. sonnei 1.2%, Plesiomonas 7.0% and vibrios 1.2%. The total pathogen isolated from diarrhoea and control cases were 46.5% and 38.4% respectively. It was also noted that Salmonella and Plesiomonas isolation rates were higher in the control group.
