In this study the stools 125 patients with diarrhea applied to Research Hospital of Medical School of Atatürk University and the stools of 69 healthy persons were investigated for gastroenteritis agents C. jejuni as well as Salmonella and Shigella. Of the zooparasiter agents protozoon and helminths were also investigated. We determined the mentioned agents in 28 of 125 patients (% 22.40). C. jejuni was isolated the most frequent cause of diarrhea with 8.80 percent. C. jejuni was isolated in high ratio from women more than men and from children more than adults. No bacterial infection agents were determined in control group but intestinal zooparasites were found with 18.85 percent.
