Abstract

The human small and large intestine were studied for viruses, bacteria, and fungi in 29 adults with acute diarrheal disease. No etiologic agent was found in 83% of the cases. The most striking finding in these patients was a marked increase in the number of bacteria in the jejunal aspirates. No viruses were isolated in any of the jejunal, ileal, or fecal specimens.
