Al- Khoja Maysoon Al-Khoja: Teaching Laboratories, Microbiology Lab Medical City Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq Abstract The epidemiology and aetiology of acute diarrhoeal dehydration in a group of 200 infants less than two years of age in Baghdad / Iraq were studied. Infants at the age of 7 to 12 months were found to be at grater risk of acquiring diarrhoea. Stool specimens were analyzed using, microscopy, routine bacteriological analysis including culture for enteropathogens, enterotoxin bioassay, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for rotavirus detection. Rotavirus was the most frequent enteric pathogen isolated (29.5%) followed by Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) then Campylobacter. Rotavirus and other enteric pathogens infections were more prevalent during summer. In about 47.5% of the cases, antimicrobial agent was used prior to admission to hospital. A symptomatic carriage of Salmonella, Campylobacter, EPEC, Giardia, Entameba were detected in less than 5% of cases. Oral rehydration therapy proved to be simple, safe and effective for acute diarrhoeal dehydration if prepared correctly Key words: Aetiology, diarrhea, dehydration, Gastroenteritis, enteric pathogens, Rotavirus Introduction Diarrhoeal diseases are a major cause of morbidity in infants and young children in developed countries and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in underdeveloped countries [1]. In a family study of some 25,000 illnesses in the United States, infectious gastroenteritis was the second most common disease and accounted for 16 percent of all illnesses [2]. The impact of diarrhoeal illnesses on infants and young children in developing countries is staggering. An estimate of the number of diarrhoeal episodes in children younger than 5 years of age in Asia, Africa, and Latin America for a 1year period indicated that more than 450 million cases of diarrhea occurred and that 1 to 4 percent were
