title: [Rotavirus infection in the older child and adult].
abstract: Rotaviruses were detected in 1.3% of more than 10,000 stool samples from children--older than 6 years--and adults. Beside rotaviruses the main enteropathogenic agents found were salmonellae (6.3%) and Campylobacter jejuni/coli (1.7%). Similar as the rotavirus infection of infants, in adults symptoms and signs were nearly the same except that the disease was not so severe. A correlation of the rotavirus infection with certain behaviour or eating habits was not found.
