“…In a previous study in Porto Velho, state of Rondônia (RO), in the western Brazilian Amazon, data on the aetiology of acute gastroenteritis was gathered in hospitalised children under five years of age from March 2000-March 2002; RVA was detected with a frequency of 23.6% and HAdV was detected with a frequency of 6.4% (Magalhães et al 2007). RVA-positive samples were also genotyped ( Costa et al 2012 ). Given the need to establish profiles of aetiological agents of acute gastroenteritis, the present study aimed to detect enteric viruses in stool samples from children admitted to a paediatric hospital in Porto Velho.…”

Although viruses are well-established causes of acute gastroenteritis, few data on the circulation of these pathogens in Porto Velho, state of Rondônia, Brazil, are available. Thus, faecal samples from hospitalised diarrhoeic children, under six years of age, were collected and tested for the presence of norovirus (NoV), adenovirus (AdV) and astrovirus (AstV) from February 2010-February 2012. Specimens were screened by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and viruses were found in 10.7% (63/591) of the cases. NoV, AdV and AstV were detected in 7.8%, 2% and 0.8% of the samples, respectively. NoV infection was observed at all ages and was most prevalent in zero-18-month-old children (84.7%; p = 0.002). A higher incidence of NoV was detected from February-April 2010, when it was found in 52.2% of the cases. Co-infections involving these viruses, rotavirus and enteropathogenic bacteria were detected in 44.4% (28/63) of the children with viral diarrhoea. Nosocomial infections were demonstrated in 28.6% (18/63) of the cases in which viruses were detected. The present paper reports, for the first time, the circulation of NoV and AstV among the paediatric population of Porto Velho and it contributes to our understanding of the roles of these pathogens in gastrointestinal infections.

“…Em países desenvolvidos, como os Estados Unidos, os prejuízos decorrentes destas infecções são estimados em aproximadamente 1 bilhão de dólares por ano (6) . No Brasil, a infecção por esse vírus representa cerca de 30% do total de casos de Doenças Diarreicas Agudas (DDA) ocorridas no país (7,8) .…”

Evaluation of rotavirus enhanced epidemiologic surveillance Evaluación de la vigilancia epidemiológica ampliada del rotavirus RESUMO Objetivo: Conhecer as práticas de vigilância do Rotavírus, identificando os pontos positivos e as dificuldades encontradas através do modelo de avaliação da Vigilância Epidemiológica Ampliada das Doenças Diarreicas por Rotavírus (VER). Métodos: Tratou-se de uma pesquisa avaliativa realizada em dois diferentes estados brasileiros, entre março a novembro de 2010. Participaram da avaliação 14 atores no total (do nível central, estadual e municipal), sendo submetidos a entrevistas gravadas utilizando questionários semiestruturados, além da realização de análise documental e observação direta da rotina do serviço dentro das respectivas unidades. Essas informações permitiram alimentar uma matriz de julgamento e evidenciar os variados aspectos componentes da operacionalização do sistema. Resultados: Foram observados pontos positivos (a sensibilidade de captação de casos, a aceitabilidade do sistema por parte dos técnicos envolvidos, a estrutura física adequada e a capacitação e atualização dos técnicos) e dificuldades operacionais (a escassez de recursos humanos e financeiros, e a baixa oportunidade do sistema de informação) na condução das atividades da vigilância. Conclusão: Os resultados encontrados sugerem a baixa efetividade do sistema de vigilância adotado, indicando que a vigilância do tipo sentinela pode não ser a mais adequada para o sistema de saúde desses estados estudados.

Rotavirus group A (RVA) infection was ascertained in 591 fecal samples from children 0 to 6 years old with acute gastroenteritis. The vaccination status was also verified in all 591 subjects, with 302 (51.0 % ± 4.0 %) participants fully vaccinated against rotavirus. Forty-two of the vaccinated children (13.9 % ± 3.9 %) tested positive for RVA infection. Of the 289 unvaccinated children (49.0 % ± 4.0 %), 61 (21.1 % ± 4.7 %) had stools positive for RVA. This study suggests that the proportion of acute diarrhea cases caused by rotavirus was low and that the incidence of rotavirus diarrhea decreased over the study period in both vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
