Adenovirus types 40 and 41 and rotaviruses associated with diarrhea in children from Guatemala

Abstract: From March 1987 to February 1988, fecal excretion of adenovirus types 40 and 41 and rotavirus serotypes in 194 children (age, 0 to 3 years) from a rural community of Guatemala was monitored. In total, 458 samples taken during 385 episodes of diarrhea and 191 specimens obtained during symptom-free periods were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Fifty-seven children hospitalized because of diarrhea were also studied. Among the rural children, 43 (22.2%) excreted adenovirus types 40 and 41 and 20 (10.… Show more

“…En cuanto al lugar que ocupan los adenovirus 40-41 en la GEA viral infantil, algunos autores lo sitúan como la tercera causa, después del rotavirus y el calicivirus 1 . La incidencia en niños es variable y depende del grado de desarrollo del país 1 , de manera que en los países industrializados la incidencia oscila entre el 1 y el 8% 3,5,26,28 , mientras que en países en vías de desarrollo se sitúa entre el 2 y el 31% 29 . Sin embargo, este intervalo se acorta cuando adenovirus es el único agente responsable de la diarrea y no está en el contexto de una infección mixta.…”

“…Enteric adenoviruses were more common than rotavirus in a rural outpatient setting in Guatemala (14% of children with diarrhea had EA detected in stool compared to 5% with rotavirus), and were associated with 31% of hospital admissions for diarrhea. 68 In two South African studies, 6.5% to 13.2% of hospital admissions for diarrhea were associated with EAs 69,70 ; in one study, 70 EAs were detected as often as rotaviruses. In the few studies that have examined the role of EAs in an adult population, they appear to be less important causes of gastroenteritis than in children.…”

“…In the few studies that have examined the role of EAs in an adult population, they appear to be less important causes of gastroenteritis than in children. No seasonality of EA infections was apparent in studies in temperate 31,[71][72][73] or tropical countries, 68,74 but few studies have reviewed multiple seasons.…”
