Aeromonas hydrophila was identified by culture technique in diarrhoeal stools and ascites in a patient of 57 years of age who suffered from known alcoholic cirrhosis and additional acute gastroenteritis. No other pathogens that would produce acute diarrhoea were found. The isolated Aeromonas hydrophila strain was characterised by the pathogenic properties known to date as pertaining to this species (formation of haemolysin and enterotoxins). Hence it is evident that Aeromonas hydrophila occurs in Germany also as an autochthonous pathogen of acute infectious enteritis.

One hundred and eighteen consecutive cases of childhood acute diarrhoea (mean age: 10.5 months) were studied after admission to our Pediatric Unit in Naples over a 13-month period. A diagnosis was established in 92 patients (78%): 55% of patients were found to have an infectious enteritis (among them, 5 had ETEC infections and 1 had an ST-producing Klebsiella infection), 12% a parenteral infection, 11% cow's milk intolerance. The occurrence of gross blood (P less than 0.01), leukocytes, and reducing substances in the stools was more commonly associated with infectious enteritis than with diarrhoea due to all other causes. In 14 patients (8 of whom were malnourished), diarrhoea ran a prolonged course. In all, the eventual outcome was favourable. Our findings, while confirming that infectious enteritides account for most of acute diarrhoeas in children, stress the importance of parenteral infections and cow's milk intolerance in this condition. Also, the need for an accurate search for enterotoxigenicity of enterobacteria before ruling out their pathogenetic role is stressed.

The usefulness of a mixture of wheat noodles and a casein-based formula in the early management of 11 children with second or third degree malnutrition and of ten better nourished children with acute diarrhea was studied. Response of the malnourished children, gauged by clinical course and balance studies, paralleled that previously documented using only casein-based formula diets. Children with acute diarrhea recovered well but had expectedly higher fecal energy losses than previously seen in healthy children consuming the same diet. Diets containing substantial amounts of wheat noodles, a low cost widely available staple, can be appropriately used in the refeeding of chronic malnutrition and acute infectious enteritis.
