Acute infectious diarrhea in children is a global healthcare challenge [1]. In 2015, the incidence of acute intestinal infections (AII) in the Russian Federation amounted to 545.89 per 100 thousand people; that is almost exactly the same as in 2014. AII of unknown etiology account for 63.44% of cases. There are still significant differences in the effectiveness of the etiological diagnosis of AII in different areas of the Russian Federation. Along with a reduction in the incidence of separate nosologies, the incidence of campylobacteriosis increased by 30.3%, rotavirus by 14% and norovirus by 26.4% [2].
