title: Nosocomial rotavirus in a pediatric hospital.
abstract: We describe a nosocomial rotavirus outbreak among pediatric cardiology patients and the impact of a prospective, laboratory-based surveillance program for rotavirus in our university-affiliated, quartenary-care pediatric hospital in New York City. Improved compliance with infection control and case-finding among patients and healthcare workers halted the outbreak.
