Viral, Bacterial and Parasitic Etiology of Pediatric Diarrhea in Gaza, Palestine

Abstract

This study demonstrated that rotavirus, E. coli O157:H7 and Campylobacter, which are not routinely screened for in Gaza Strip, were significant enteropathogens. The results highlight the value of using a combination of traditional and PCR techniques in the diagnosis of enteropathogens related to gastroenteritis.
