    Summary

    A 1986 investigation found enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) to be the primary cause of severe diarrhea in Longhai county, particularly during August and September. Most ETEC strains identified were heat-stable toxin (ST)-producing, indicating significant virulence.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Microbiology
    • Epidemiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Severe diarrhea poses a significant public health challenge.
    • Understanding the etiologic agents and epidemiological patterns of infectious diarrhea is crucial for effective public health interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct an etiologic and epidemiologic investigation of severe diarrhea cases in Longhai county.
    • To identify the primary causative pathogens and their seasonal distribution.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 92 severe diarrhea cases from 1986.
    • Isolation and identification of pathogenic organisms from patient samples.
    • Strain characterization, including toxinotyping (ST-producing strains) and virulence assessment using a baby mouse model.

    Main Results:

    • Pathogenic organisms were isolated from 64.48% of patients, with a 81.52% strain positive rate.
    • Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) was the predominant pathogen, identified in 66.67% of isolates.
    • Diarrhea incidence peaked in August and September (83.69% of cases), coinciding with the highest pathogen isolation rates.
    • The majority of ETEC strains were ST-producing, with 80.30% demonstrating strong virulence in the baby mouse model (intestinal weight/body weight ratio > 0.1000).

    Conclusions:

    • ETEC, particularly ST-producing strains, was the main etiologic agent of severe diarrhea in Longhai county in 1986.
    • The study highlights a strong seasonal pattern for severe diarrhea, with a peak in late summer/early autumn.
    • Findings underscore the public health impact of ETEC infections and the need for targeted control strategies.
