Rotavirus-associated traveler's diarrhea: neutralizing antibody in asymptomatic infections.
The sera of patients with traveler's diarrhea were assayed for rotavirus-specific immunoglobulins in enzyme-linked immunosorbent and micro-neutralization assays. The antigenically related simian rotavirus SA-11 was used in both assays. Although similar titers of rotavirus-specific binding immunoglobulin G and A were observed in the sera of both symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects, clinical il...
متن کاملAsymptomatic rotavirus infections in day care centers.
Rotaviruses and other enteropathogenic agents were detected in 288 (42.1%) of 684 children in day care centers of Instituto Politecnico Nacional in Mexico City. The same agents were also found in 114 (37.7%) of 302 adults directly involved in the care of the children. The study was carried out from July to December 1982 and from July 1983 to February 1984.

متن کاملPersistent diarrhea in travelers.
Most patients with traveler's diarrhea can be efficiently treated with available pharmacological agents. A more difficult problem is the persistent diarrhea (lasting > or = 14 days) that occurs in approximately 3% of travelers who have acute diarrhea. In the initial evaluation of these patients, ideally three stool samples should be obtained for examination for pathogens. If an agent is not ide...
متن کاملAsymptomatic rotavirus infections in England: prevalence, characteristics, and risk factors.
Rotavirus is a major cause of infectious intestinal disease in young children; a substantial prevalence of asymptomatic infection has been reported across all age groups. In this study, the authors determined characteristics of asymptomatic rotavirus infection and potential risk factors for infection. Healthy persons were recruited at random from the general population of England during the Stu...
متن کاملControlling Rotavirus-associated diarrhea: Could single-domain antibody fragments make the difference?
Group A Rotavirus (RVA) remains a leading cause of severe diarrhea and child mortality. The variable domain of camelid heavy chain antibodies (VHH) display potent antigen-binding capacity, have low production costs and are suitable for oral therapies. Two sets of anti-RVA VHHs have been developed: ARP1-ARP3; 2KD1-3B2. Here, we explore the potential of both sets as a prevention strategy compleme...
