Abstract
Group A rotaviruses, human caliciviruses, astroviruses, and adenovirus type s 40 and 41 were detected by enzyme immunoassay or reverse transcription-PC R in 61, 14, 6, and 3% of stool specimens from 414 children consulting for gastroenteritis between 1995 and 1998. These data highlight the importance of caliciviruses in infantile gastroenteritis. Among these, Norwalk-like vi ruses belonging to genogroup II were predominant.
