Rotavirus and Enteric Adenovirus Investigation in Children with Diarrhea
Rotavirus and enteric adenovirus (type 40/41) were investigated by latex agglutination method in stool specimens of 0-5 years old patients with diarrhea between December 1995 and February 1997. Other enteric pathogens were also investigated. We determined etiological agents in 29% of the specimens....

| description | Rotavirus and enteric adenovirus (type 40/41) were investigated by latex agglutination method in stool specimens of 0-5 years old patients with diarrhea between December 1995 and February 1997. Other enteric pathogens were also investigated. We determined etiological agents in 29% of the specimens. Rotavirus was found to be as 8.5%, adenovirus was 3.4% where other pathogens; Salmonella typhimurium was 8.5%, Shigella flexneri was 1.7%, Campylobacter jejuni was 3.4% and Aeromonas caviae was 1.7% of the total agents. We also observed Giardia intestinalis cysts in one of the direct microscopic examinations of the stool specimens. Among all pathogens rotavirus ratio was 29.4% and adenovirus was 11.8%. These results indicated the significance of rotaviruses and adenoviruses for infant diarrhea as important pathogens to be investigated. |
