title: [Detection of rotavirus in the feces of children with diarrhea].
abstract: Bacteriological and virological examinations of feces from sick children diagnosed as having an "enteric infection of obscure etiology" were carried out. Out of 30 fecal specimens 6 showed positive results in agar gel diffusion test with antiserum to calf diarrhea rotavirus confirmed by electron microscopy. The relationship of virological and bacteriological findings and age of the patients was established. Differences in the clinical manifestations of the disease in virus-positive and virus-negative patients were observed.
