Abstract
Using inhibitory enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, seroconversions to Aich i virus were detected in 24 (42.9%) of 56 patients with gastroenteritis in six outbreaks. Virus-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) was detected in conval escent-phase sera from 7 of 24 patients. Of the other 17 patients, 12 devel oped a significant increase in both IgA and IgG levels and 5 developed a si gnificant increase in IgG alone.
