An improved staphylococcal coagglutination test was developed for rapi
d detection, in a single assay, of rotavirus and adenovirus in stool s
amples (COARA). Suspensions of Staphylococcus aureus coated respective
ly with anti-rotavirus and anti-adenovirus sera were used to identify
these viruses in 327 stool samples of children. The samples were also
tested by an enzyme immunoassay. The data analysis has demonstrated a
high degree of correlation between the two assays.
