Rotavirus diarrhea in newborn infants.
In this study, the frequency of rotavirus infection and also the relation of rotavirus pathogens to necrotizing enterocolitis were investigated in newborns with diarrhea. We observed that rotavirus is a very important agent as a cause of nosocomial infection and also that it has a role in the development of NEC.
