dc.description.abstract	In Nairobi, Kenya, 77 adults with acute diarrhoea were studied in an attempt to determine the major pathogens responsible. Amoebic dysentery was not seen although haemagglutination-inhibition tests for invasive Entamoeba histolytica were positive in 4 inpatients. One patient had a heavy parasitaemia with Plasmodium falciparum. It is concluded that recognizable aetiological agents are associated with most diarrhoeal illnesses but that these illnesses are not commonly due to amoebiasis.	en_US
