The frequency of astrovirus infection in 456 Chilean children with diarrhea was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, reverse transcriptase PCR, and cell culture. Astrovirus was detected in 16.5% of rotavirus-negative and 7% of rotavirus-positive samples obtained from emergency rooms or hospitals and in 11% of samples from day care centers. HAst-1 was the predominant serotype identified.
通过酶联免疫吸附测定、逆转录聚合酶链反应和细胞培养,确定了456名智利腹泻儿童中星状病毒感染的频率。在从急诊室或医院采集的16.5%的轮状病毒阴性样本和7%的轮状病毒阳性样本中,以及在日托中心采集的11%的样本中检测到了星状病毒。HAst-1是鉴定出的主要血清型。
