[Ecology and clinico-epidemiologic characteristics of intestinal anthroponosis in troops].
The change of the dominant strains of intestinal viruses in the different regions of Russia during 1980-2001 was analyzed. In the North-Western regions the following dynamics was observed: enteroviruses ECHO 4, 6, 14, 30, Koksaki B 5, 6, ECHO 4, 11, 20, rotaviruses, new enteroviruses (serotypes 68-71). The last years the polytype of agents is registered. The prevalence of enteroviruses Koksaki A5, B5, ECHO 7, 13, 24, 30, new enteroviruses (serotype 70) is observed in the Far-Eastern region of Russia. Koksaki A, B, ECHO, new enteroviruses (serotypes 70, 71) were noted in the Central and Southern regions. The standard bacteriological examination of 158 patients who had come from the epidemic focus of acute intestinal infections (AII) showed that the agents were in 33 (21%) patients (in 19%--Sh. Flexneri 2a and in 2%--EPIR O124). In the remaining 125 (79%) persons the etiological agent wasn't detected. The additional investigation of fecal and blood samples obtained from all admitted patients showed that among the AII agents of uncertain etiology rotaviruses (49%), ECHO viruses (18%) and Koksaki A (8%) prevailed.
