301 stools were collected during a period of 2 years from children aged 0-3 years, most of them presenting an acute gastro-enteritis; search for rotavirus was carried out using ELISA and latex techniques, together with coproculture. 44 stools were positive (14.61%), 18.68% of these positive cases were in the age groups 0-6 months. The rotavirus gastro-enteritis affects boys (63.63%) two times more often than girls. It is frequent in hospitals (20.51% of all cases). The coproculture shows that about 14% of diarrhoeas are of bacterial origin. Thus, our study demonstrates that viral diarrhoeas are as frequent as the bacterial ones. The combination of both has been found in two cases. Our study shows also that a high incidence of rotavirus diarrhoea is found during spring (18.18%). The latex technique is 18.51% less sensitive than ELISA; however, it has the advantages of simplicity, rapidity and low cost.
在两年时间里，收集了301份0至3岁儿童的粪便样本，其中大多数儿童患有急性肠胃炎；采用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）和乳胶技术并结合粪便培养法检测轮状病毒。44份粪便样本呈阳性（14.61%），其中18.68%的阳性病例在0至6个月龄组。轮状病毒肠胃炎在男孩中的感染率（63.63%）是女孩的两倍。在医院中较为常见（占所有病例的20.51%）。粪便培养显示，约14%的腹泻由细菌引起。因此，我们的研究表明，病毒性腹泻与细菌性腹泻的发生率相当。在两例病例中发现了两者合并感染的情况。我们的研究还表明，轮状病毒腹泻在春季的发生率较高（18.18%）。乳胶技术的敏感性比ELISA低18.51%；然而，它具有操作简单、快速和成本低的优点。
