A proportion of the disease that is endemic to young children in rural Egypt represents the confluence of small epidemics by clonally related ETEC strains that are transiently introduced or that persist in a community reservoir.

For vaccine development and/or deployment, the study suggests that rotavirus is of principle concern, followed by ETEC, Shigella, and Campylobacter, which peaked in late summer to early winter while bacterial agents were prevalent during summer.

ABSTRACT The incidence of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli diarrhea among Egyptian children was 1.5 episodes per child per year and accounted for 66% of all first episodes of diarrhea after birth.…

Application of the degenerate primer sets to ETEC isolates from surveillance studies increased the total number of ETEC isolate with detectable CFAs by almost 20%, and MLST analysis suggests that for many CFAs, there may be a requirement for certain genetic backgrounds to acquire and maintain plasmids carrying genes encoding CFAs.

The incorporation of immunoassays yielded useful data in identifying pathogens in previously pathogen-negative diarrhea cases in Egypt, and the percentage of diarrheal cases with a known cause increased significantly.

The genome plasticity demonstrated in the ETEC isolates collected in this work suggests an additional challenge to the development of a globally effective vaccine for ETEC.

The role of enterotoxins and pathogenicity during repeat ETEC infections appears to be variable and dependent on the coexpression of specific CFAs, while CS6, CS12, CS14, CFA/I, and CS14 were detected at higher frequencies among asymptomatic children.
Prevalence of morbidity of schistosomiasis among preschool children in Bani-Suef governorate.

The present study carried out on 429 children below 6 years of age from a village in Bani-Suef governorate to show the schistosomiasis prevalence rate, and found the serologically positive infants may suggested the congenital transmission of immunologic information rather than active infection.
