title: [Rotavirus infection in children with acute diarrhea in Habana City].
abstract: This paper shows the incidence of rotavirus and other pathogenic agents in 256 children under three years of age with a diagnosis of acute diarrhea. This study included the months of December 1983 through May 1984. Rotavirus was found in 27.7% of patients, followed by enteropathogenic E. coli (17%). No positive cases were found in the control group. The highest incidence of rotavirus infection coincided with the coldest months where the lowest volumes of rains were reported.
