title: [Electron microscopy study and clinical characteristics of rotavirus disease].
abstract: In this paper it is been described method of electronic microscopy applied for discovering characteristic morphology of rotaviruses in samples of stools of infected and hospitalized patients. To have electronic microscopy as standard method it is necessary to know morphology or structure of the researched microorganism. In the second part of the paper we have made clinical epidemiological analysis of the rotavirus infection on the examined samples, and made comparison with result of other researches. Out of 78 patients with diarrhea, in 15 or 19.2% have been proofed presents of rotaviruses in the stool samples. All hospitalized patients had diarrhea (100%), vomiting was present in 90.9%, high temperature to 39C in 63.6% and over 39C in 36.4% patients. Stomachache was registered in 36.3% and blood in stool has not been found. Majority of the hospitalized had some respiratory syndromes. Time of hospitalization was between 6 to 13 days with average of 9.5 days. Death of hospitalized was not registered.
