Abstract
There is evidence that fetal antigenic stimulation and intrauterine infection is
much more frequent in developing rural populations than in industrialized societies. A similar
contrast is observed for postnatal intestinal infection that is significantly greater in the less
developed areas. The differences are explained by the divergence in environmental sanitation
and personal hygiene. Intestinal infection is important in that diarrheal disease is one of the
main factors leading to malnutrition. It is apparent that for developing nations to attain better
nutrition, much of the present burden of intestinal infection needs to be controlled.
