一项研究旨在确定产热不稳定肠毒素的大肠杆菌和其他肠道病原体在联合国驻塞浦路斯部队瑞典士兵中的肠道疾病中的作用。在离开瑞典前往塞浦路斯之前，没有从士兵身上分离出肠道病原体。该研究于1975年10月至1976年1月和1976年8月进行。大肠埃希氏菌的产肠毒素菌株。大肠埃希菌、弗氏柠檬酸杆菌、可乐肠杆菌和肺炎克雷伯菌是腹泻病例中最常见的肠道致病菌。这些菌株在79例患者中的14例（18%）中发现，但也在66例（9%）的邻床对照中发现，在139例健康塞浦路斯平民中发现7例（5%）。在士兵中发现的其他病原体很少，但139名塞浦路斯人中有9人（6%）是蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫包囊的携带者。结果表明，肠道致病菌可能是在塞浦路斯的瑞典联合国士兵中发现的这些制剂腹泻的最重要原因。几名士兵感染了这些菌株，但没有感染腹泻。
A study was designed to establish the role of heatlabile enterotoxin producingEscherichia coliand other intestinal pathogens in diarrhoeal disease in Swedish soldiers of the United Nations' Force in Cyprus. Before leaving Sweden for Cyprus, no enteropathogens were isolated from the soldiers. The study was performed from October 1975 through January 1976 and in August 1976. Enterotoxigenic strains ofE. coli, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter colacaeandKlebsiella pneumoniaewere the intestinal pathogens most frequently isolated from the cases of diarrhoea. Such strains were found in 14 of 79 diarrhoeal cases (18%) but also in 6 of 66 (9%) of next-bed-fellow controls and in 7 of 139 (5%) of healthy Cypriotic civilians. Few other pathogens were identified in the soldiers, but 9 of 139 (6%) of the Cypriots were carriers of cysts ofGiardia lamblia. The results indicate that enterotoxigenic bacteria were probably the most important cause of diarrhoea of those agents identified among the Swedish UN soldiers on Cyprus. Several soldiers were colonized with these strains without contracting diarrhoea.
