Gastroenteritis in infants, associated with a genome type of adenovirus 31 and with combined rotavirus and adenovirus 31 infection.
In an infants' ward, gastroenteritis occurred in five children in two groups, probably by nosocomial spread of adenovirus 31 (three cases) and adenovirus 31 + rotavirus (two cases). The infants recovered well. The DNA of adenovirus 31 isolates was analysed with ten restriction endonucleases and found identical for all five strains, but different from the prototype.
