Group A rotavirus infections were detected in 93 of 410 fecal samples from children with acute diarrhea, admitted in three main hospitals of Asunción, Paraguay, from August 1998 to August 2000. Most of the rotavirus-infected patients were admitted during the winter season in the three epidemic years. The rotavirus infection rate was highest in infants from 6 to 23 months of age. In the 93 samples examined, 10 different rotavirus electropherotypes were recognized, but two of them largely predominated. Only one sample showed a short electropherotype pattern, thus indicating a minor involvement of the rotavirus subgroup I in rotaviral acute diarrhea in the area and the time during which the survey was carried out.
1998年8月至2000年8月期间,在巴拉圭亚松森市三家主要医院收治的410例急性腹泻儿童的粪便样本中,检测到93例A组轮状病毒感染。在这三个流行年份中,大多数感染轮状病毒的患者是在冬季入院的。轮状病毒感染率在6至23个月大的婴儿中最高。在检测的93份样本中,识别出10种不同的轮状病毒电泳图谱类型,但其中两种占主导地位。只有一份样本显示出短电泳图谱模式,因此表明在调查进行的地区和时间段内,I型轮状病毒亚组在轮状病毒急性腹泻中参与程度较小。
