| description | Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the
prevalence of rotavirus and adenovirus in patients who applied with the complaint
of acute gastroenteritis to the emergency department of our tertiary health care
provider hospitals.
Methods: 1712
patients with the complaint of acute gastroenteritis were included in the study
and the study was done retrospectively from patient records.Results: Stool
(faeces) samples have been sent from 1712 patients who applied to emergency services
with the complaint of acute gastroenteritis for 3 years. Of these, 17.5% (n=301)
rotavirus antigen and 3.5% (n=61) adenovirus antigen were detected as positive.
It was observed that 56% (n=203) of the positive cases were male and 44% (n=159)
were female. The rotavirus antigen was statistically significantly higher in
the 0-4 age group than the other age groups.
Conclusion: Acute gastroenteritis
is an important health problem in children. Especially, the frequency of
rotavirus was observed to be higher in children under 4 years of age and in
this age group patients the use of rotavirus rapid diagnostic tests rather than
viral culture methods may be helpful to early diagnosis thus to reduce unnecessary
antibiotic use. |
