Three newly discovered viruses have been recently described in diarrheal patients: Cosavirus (CosV) and Salivirus (SalV), 2 picornaviruses, and bufavirus (BuV), a parvovirus. The detection rate and the role of these viruses remain to be established in acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in diarrheal Italian infants. From November 2016 to November 2017, stool samples were collected from 160 children <5 years old suffering from AGE and attending the Children's Hospital in Turin, Italy. During the study period, 1 (0.5%) sample was positive for 1 of the 3 investigated viruses: 0 (0%) CosV, 1 (0.5%) SalV, and 0 (0%) BuV, whereas 42 (26.0%) children were infected with rotavirus and 2 (1%) with adenovirus. No mixed infections involving the 3 viruses were found. Although these viruses are suspected to be responsible for AGE in children, our data showed that this association was uncertain. Therefore, further studies with large cohorts of healthy and diarrheal children will be needed to evaluate their clinical role in AGE.
柯萨奇病毒(CosV)和唾液病毒(SalV),这两种细小核糖核酸病毒,以及细小病毒布法罗病毒(BuV)。这些病毒在意大利腹泻婴儿急性胃肠炎(AGE)中的检出率和作用仍有待确定。2016年11月至2017年11月,从160名患有AGE且在意大利都灵儿童医院就诊的5岁以下儿童中采集了粪便样本。在研究期间,1份(0.5%)样本对3种被调查病毒中的1种呈阳性:柯萨奇病毒为0份(0%),唾液病毒为1份(0.5%),布法罗病毒为0份(0%),而42名(26.0%)儿童感染了轮状病毒,2名(1%)感染了腺病毒。未发现涉及这3种病毒的混合感染。尽管怀疑这些病毒与儿童AGE有关,但我们的数据表明这种关联并不确定。因此,需要对大量健康和腹泻儿童进行进一步研究,以评估它们在AGE中的临床作用。
