TI  - Enterotoxigenic and invasive Escherichia coli as causes of childhood diarrhoea in 
      Finland.
PG  - 219-24
AB  - E. coli was considered as the possible aetiologic agent in 16 cases (5.7%) of 283 
      hospital admissions for diarrhoea. One invasive strain was isolated from a case 
      with exudative diarrhoea. Four heat-labile (LT) enterotoxin-producing strains 
      were found in relatively mild cases of diarrhoea. Eleven strains belonged to 
      "classic" pathogenic serotypes (EPEC); 9 of these were endemic cases and 2 
      associated with travel. Of the latter, 1 strain (078) was also found to produce 
      heat-stable (ST) enterotoxin detectable by infant mouse assay. Although EPEC are 
      now found much less frequently than 20 years ago, E. coli as a whole may still be 
      the most common bacterial aetiology of childhood diarrhoea in Finland.
