[Rotavirus in the feces of children with acute diarrhea in Cochabamba, Bolivia].
Eighty patients with acute diarrheal disease from Cochabamba, Bolivia, were investigated for rotavirus infection by rotapheresis. Rotavirus ARN was detected in 18 (22.5%) of the cases, thus suggesting that this agent is also a frequent cause of acute diarrhea in the studied population as reported from other places of the world.
