The pattern of virus infection causing infantile diarrhoea was similar in Dar es Salaam to other parts of the world. The present study attempted to investigate the viruses associated with diarrhoea in Dares Salaam and, since electron microscopy was considered essential, the study was limited to the number of stools that could be sent in one consignment by air to Scotland. Examination of stools from 26 cases of measles failed to implicate any particular virus as a likely cause of the associated diarrhoea. However the diarrhoea associated with measles in Tanzanian children does not appear to be caused by any of the electron microscopically detectable viruses. ./cache/cord-019982-hyxrgamj.txt ./txt/cord-019982-hyxrgamj.txt
