Abstrakt: Duodenal mucosal antibody against non-pathogenic bacteria, grown either from the luminal juices or the mucosa itself, was demonstrated for the first time in 7 of 8 children with diarrhœa and only 2 of 7 without diarrhœa. Neither group showed significant histological abnormalities on duodenal biopsy. An ætiological relation between the antibody and the persistence of postenteritis diarrhœa is possible.
