Out of 607,44% (267/607) cases were positive for either kind of enteropathogens. The prevalence of enteropathogens were found to be significantly high in ORT 169 ((63.3%) than OPD 98 (36.7%) (P<0.05). Rotavirus was in 27.0% and parasites were in 15.16% of them protozoa in 12.19% and helminthes in 3.0% among total cases. Entamoeba histolytica in 6.96%, Giardia lamblia in 3.8% , Ascaris lulmbricoides in 1.3%, Cyclospora cyetanensis in 1.2%, Trichuris trichiura ion 0.8%, Hookworm 0.5%, Enntamoeba coil and Hymenolepsis nana in 0.3% of the total cases.
