SUMMARY In order to find out the cause of the malignant gastroenteritis in infants, the stools from such children have been submitted to thorough bacteriological and serological examination. In a good many cases, furthermore, autopsy was performed under sterile precautions. As the bacteriological findings were not suggestive of any bacterial cause, attempts were made to isolate a possibly present virus. These attempts also proved negative.
