Abstract
In this study two hundred seventeen children with acute diarrhea between
Januarys to the end of July 2008 were involved. One hundred thirty were male (59.9%) and
eighty seven female (40.1%) with (mean age±SD)(35.15±24.26)months.This study appear the
high frequency of the rota virus (36.9%) Followed by Entamoeba histolytica was (28.6%),
then diarrheagenic Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) (17.1%) and Salmonella was
(11.5%) and the lowest frequency to Giardia lamblia was (5.9%). The important result in this
study ,that limitation the serotypes of EPEC that cause acute diarrhea , 46% was EPEC
serotype(O:86,O:119,O:127),27%was EPEC serotype (O:125,O:126,O:128) while EPEC
serotype(O:114,O:124,O:142)was 27%,The highest occurrence of children diarrhea in age
group between (14-42) months.
