Rotavirus was found by electron microscopy in the stools of 70.7% of a representative sample (368) of the 3355 children with acute diarrhoea admitted to hospital over a period of 16 months in Calicut on the west coast of India. The prevalence of the virus was high (nearly 100% of cases examined) in the period from November to January and lowest in May just before the onset of the monsoon. Prevalence was high (75.1%) in infants aged from 6 to 23 months, but was considerably lower in those under 6 months of age (34.8%). The management of cases and the planning of control measures for this disease are discussed in the light of knowledge of the high prevalence of rotavirus.
在印度西海岸科泽科德，对16个月期间收治入院的3355名急性腹泻儿童的一个代表性样本（368例）进行粪便检测，通过电子显微镜在70.7%的样本中发现了轮状病毒。该病毒的流行率在11月至1月期间很高（几乎100%的检测病例），在季风开始前的5月最低。6至23个月大的婴儿中流行率很高（75.1%），但6个月以下婴儿的流行率则低得多（34.8%）。根据轮状病毒高流行率的相关知识，对该病的病例管理和控制措施规划进行了讨论。
