Title

RELATIVE FREQUENCY OF ROTAVIRUS AND ADENOVIRUS AMONG CHILDREN AGED 1-60 MONTHS HOSPITALIZED WITH ACUTE DIARRHOEA IN SOUTH-WESTERN, IRAN

Pages

  47-50

Abstract

 Background: More than three million CHILDREN in developing countries die from acute diarrhea annually. ROTAVIRUSes and ADENOVIRUSes are from the most important etiologic factors in acute gastroenteritis of CHILDREN.Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of ROTAVIRUS and ADENOVIRUS among CHILDREN with ACUTE DIARRHOEA admitted to Abuzar Hospital in AHVAZ (Southwest Iran).Patients and Methods: In a descriptive, cross-sectional study over 1 year (September 2009 to August 2010), CHILDREN who were admitted to Abuzar Hospital in AHVAZ with a diagnosis of ACUTE DIARRHOEA were studied. Stools were examined with ELISA kits for detection of ADENOVIRUSes and ROTAVIRUSes.Results: Of 180 CHILDREN in our study, 104 were boys (57.8%) and 76 were girls (42.2%), with a mean age of 12.86 months (1-60 months). Sixty-three (35%) had ROTAVIRUS infections (mean age, 11.57 months), and 6 (3.3%) had ADENOVIRUS infections (mean age, 8.17 months).We examined the seasonal distribution and found that 12 cases (19%) had occurred in spring, 11 (17.5%) in summer, 24 (38.1%) in autumn, and 16 (25.4%) in winter. There was no significant correlation between sex and viral agents causing ACUTE DIARRHOEA (P=0.96).Conclusions: This survey showed a high incidence of ROTAVIRUS infection (35%) in CHILDREN with ACUTE DIARRHOEA, especially in CHILDREN under 2 years old. It seems that use of an appropriate vaccine could effectively prevent diarrhoea in this population.
