Rotavirus infection in gastroenteritis in children.
The electron microscopic investigation of biological materials (faeces, intestinal mucous biopsies) from 19 children and sucklings with clinically diagnosed acute gastroenteritis evidenced the presence of some rotavirus-like viral particles in 31 percent of cases. The age of hospitalized subjects varied between 4 months and three years. There have been identified viral particles in the cytoplasm of enterocytes of the intestinal villi and in suspensions of the fecal materials.
