title: [The epidemic importance of the virological study of sewage for rotaviruses].
abstract: The results of correlation of rotavirus circulation indices among apparently normal and sick children and the rates of rotavirus antigen detection in sewage from an orphanage and an infectious ward of children's hospital are presented. It was established that there should be up to 1% of virus excretors for rotaviruses to be detectable in sewage of peripheral collectors of children's institutions. A significant increase in the rate of detection of rotaviruses in sewage may indicate an activation of the epidemic process of rotavirus infection.
