At the National Institute of Children Health Protection, a study was performed on 90 neonates with acute diarrhoea. All participants were divided into 3 groups (breast feeding, feeding with Snow Brand Milk I, and feeding with Nursoy Milk). Concerning the duration of the course of diarrhoea, no significant differences between 3 groups were shown.

1159 diarrhoeal stool specimens were cultured for detecting Campylobacter. Data on epidemiology and clinical symptoms of the disease were also collected. 104 Campylobacter strains were isolated, positive rate 9%. The highest prevalence of the disease was found in 2 age groups: 7-12 months (15%) and 13-24 months (13.1%), and this proportion decreased gradually with increasing age. No seasonal fluctuation was observed. Clinical symptoms of the disease are not typical so the diagnosis should be based on stool examination.
