我们研究了在ICDDR达卡医院（B）就诊的老年人的特征。该医院有一个传染病监测系统，对所有到医院就诊的病人进行2%的系统抽样。我们回顾了1996-2001年期间纳入监测系统的所有患者（n= 13，782）的数据，以确定纳入本研究的60岁及以上患者（占所有监测患者的4%; n=478）。霍乱弧菌O 1是从患者粪便培养中分离出的最常见肠道病原体（20%），其次是ETEC（13%）、志贺氏菌（11%）、霍乱弧菌O 139（10%）、空肠弯曲杆菌（5%）、沙门氏菌（3%）、EPEC（2%）、轮状病毒（4%）和大肠杆菌。溶组织菌（2%）。O 139霍乱弧菌和志贺氏菌在老年人中的分离率高于成年人（15-59岁，分别为10%和6%，11%和7%;
We examined the characteristics of elderly people attending the Dhaka Hospital of ICDDR,B. The hospital has a diarrhoeal disease surveillance system that enrols a 2% systematic sample of all patients visiting the hospital. We reviewed data of all patients enrolled into the surveillance system (n=13,782) over the period 1996-2001 to identify patients aged 60 y and above for inclusion into the current study (4% of all surveillance patients; n=478). V. cholerae O1 was the most common enteric pathogen isolated from faecal culture of the patients (20%), followed by ETEC (13%), Shigella (11%), V. cholerae O139 (10%), Campylobacter jejuni (5%), Salmonella (3%), EPEC ( 2%), rotavirus ( 4%), and E. histolytica ( 2%). The isolation rate of V. cholerae O139 and Shigella was higher among the elderly compared to adults (15-59 y of age, 10% vs 6%, and 11% vs 7% respectively; p
