Aichi virus, genus Kobuvirus, family Picornaviridae, has been proposed as a causative agent of gastroenteritis in human. Although high seroprevalence has been detected, it has been identified in only a few cases. We report detection of Aichi virus in Hungary. A total of 65 stool samples were tested retrospectively, collected from children with diarrhea, by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. One (1.5%) sample from a 3-year-old girl was positive. Besides diarrhea, fever, purulent conjunctivitis and respiratory symptoms were also present at the same time with virus shedding. The genotype A virus, Kobuvirus/human/Szigetvar-HUN298/2000/Hungary (FJ225407), has 96% nucleotide identity to Aichi virus.
爱知病毒属于杯状病毒科中的柯布病毒属,已被认为是人类胃肠炎的病原体。尽管已检测到高血清阳性率,但仅在少数病例中被鉴定出来。我们报告了在匈牙利检测到爱知病毒。通过逆转录聚合酶链反应对从腹泻儿童中回顾性收集的65份粪便样本进行了检测。一名3岁女孩的一份样本(1.5%)呈阳性。除腹泻外,发热、脓性结膜炎和呼吸道症状也与病毒排出同时出现。基因型A病毒,柯布病毒/人类/希盖特瓦尔-HUN298/2000/匈牙利(FJ225407),与爱知病毒有96%的核苷酸同一性。
