Rotavirus and bacterial enteropathogens causing acute diarrhea. Indian Journal of Pediatrics. 1992 Mar-Apr; 59(2): 203-7http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/80819The etiology of rotavirus in acute diarrhoeal illness in children 0-5 years of age, admitted to the Pediatric wards of Kasturba Medical College Hospital, Manipal was studied, over a period of one year. Rotavirus in the faecal samples detected by the slide latex agglutination test accounted for 14.9% of the diarrheas with maximum incidence in the 7-12 months of age group (57.5%). Bacterial enteropathogens continued to play a significant role in diarrheal diseases. Salmonella enteritis was found more in the age group 0-6 months and shigellosis in 37-60 months. In a control study of 100 children who had no diarrhea, 2 were found positive for rotaviruses.engAcute DiseaseAnti-Bacterial Agents --classificationCandida --drug effectsChildChild, PreschoolDiarrhea --drug therapyDrug Resistance, MicrobialEnterovirus --drug effectsFeces --microbiologyFemaleHumansInfantInfant, NewbornMaleRotavirus --drug effectsSalmonella typhimurium --drug effectsJournal Article
