Background:Infectious diarrheal diseases are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide, particularly in developing countries with poor sanitation and hygiene practices. The present study was conducted to assess risk factors of Gastroenteritis in children. Materials & Methods:98 children with diarrhea of both genders were selected. Gastroenteritis cases were put on group I and healthy control in group II. Stool collection was achieved via sterile plastic containers provided with screw capes with spoon. Cary Blair transport media was used for preservation of samples. Stools were processed and analyzed for enteric bacteria. Results: Out of 98 cases of children with diarrhea, enteropathogens were isolated in 36 cases (Group I) and 6 control (Group II). Shigella spp. in 12 and 2, E. coli in 10 and 1, Salmonella spp. in 5 and 2, Aermonas spp. in 7 and 1 and Y. enterocolitica in 2 cases in group I and II respectively. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Mother education was high in 12and 2 and low in 24 and 4 cases in group I and II respectively. Age groups 0-6years had 25 and 3 cases and age group 7-12years had 11 and 3 cases in group I and II respectively. Family income was high in 15 and 2 and low in 21 and 4 cases respectively. In group I, 26 cases were seen in females and 10 cases in males and in group II, 5 cases in females and 1 case in male. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The study's findings highlight the significance of bacterial enteropathogens in the development of severe pediatric diarrhea. It was E. coli that was the most common pathogen.
