Epidemiology of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli among Children and Adults Seeking Care at Hospitals in Two Geographically Distinct Rural Areas in Bangladesh
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infections undeniably continue to have substantial morbidity and mortality in younger children; however, limited data are available on the disease burden of older children and adults and on ETEC epidemiology by geographical location at the subnational level. Facility-based surveillance over the years was established to identify patients with ETEC diarrhea in two geographically distinct areas in rural Bangladesh, Chhatak in the north and Mathbaria in the southern coastal area. ETEC was highly prevalent in both areas, while the proportions, toxin types and colonization factors varied by location, season and age groups. Children < 5 years old and adults between 20 and 60 years old were at the highest risk of ETEC diarrhea which required urgent care. This study underscores the importance of capturing subnational and seasonal variations in ETEC epidemiology. ETEC vaccine developers and public health stakeholders may need to target adults between 20 and 60 years of age in addition to young children as new vaccines currently under development become licensed and introduction begins.
