The distribution of rotavirus G (VP7) serotypes circulating in four locations in Malaysia, representing three geographical areas, was evaluated in 341 RNA-positive stool specimens obtained discontinuously between 1977 and 1988 from infants and young children under the age of five years who were hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis. A total of 306 specimens (256 stool suspensions and 50 that were adapted to growth in tissue culture) that were rotavirus positive by the confirmatory enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were examined for serotype by ELISA utilizing monoclonal antibodies to rotavirus G serotype 1, 2, 3, 4, or 9. One hundred eighty (59%) of the 306 specimens could be serotyped; of these 180 specimens, 71% were serotype 4, 15% were serotype 1, 4% were serotype 2, and 4% were serotype 3. Serotype 9 rotavirus was not detected. Most (71%) of the specimens tested were obtained in 1988, when serotype 4 predominated in three locations in West Malaysia; no single serotype was predominant in a limited number of specimens from East Malaysia.
对1977年至1988年间从因急性胃肠炎住院的5岁以下婴幼儿中间断采集的341份RNA阳性粪便标本进行评估,以确定代表三个地理区域的马来西亚四个地点流行的轮状病毒G(VP7)血清型分布情况。通过使用针对轮状病毒G血清型1、2、3、4或9的单克隆抗体的酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA),对总共306份经确证ELISA检测为轮状病毒阳性的标本(256份粪便悬液和50份适应于在组织培养中生长的标本)进行血清型检测。306份标本中有180份(59%)可以进行血清分型;在这180份标本中,71%为血清型4,15%为血清型1,4%为血清型2,4%为血清型3。未检测到血清型9轮状病毒。大多数(71%)检测标本是在1988年获得的,当时血清型4在马来西亚西部的三个地点占主导地位;在来自东马来西亚的数量有限的标本中,没有单一血清型占主导地位。
