title: [Diagnosis of Rotavirus using viral RNA electrophoresis].
abstract: Rotavirus has emerged as a major agent of acute enteritis of infants. A rapid and simple technique has been developed for its detection, based on the visualization of the viral RNA electrophoretic pattern. This technique takes advantage of the large amount of rotavirus present in the stools and the high sensitivity for detection of RNA obtained with ethidium bromide.
