Routine diagnosis of human rotaviruses in stools.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron microscopy, immune electron microscopy and complement fixation as methods of detecting rotavirus in the stools of young children with gastroenteritis were compared in a blind study during the winter of 1975-6. Complement fixation was the simplest to perform, was as sensitive as the other two, and allowed a quantitative measurement of viral excretion. Absorption of faecal extracts with fetal calf serum usually removed the anticomplementary activity of faecal extracts.

Rapid screening test for the diagnosis of rotavirus infection.
The early diagnosis of human rotavirus infection is essential for effective patient management and infection control. We report here a rapid, easy-to-perform, and inexpensive test for rotavirus detection. The viral RNA is extracted directly from the stools and electrophoresed on 1% agarose gels. Currently available immunoassays for routine diagnostic purposes are directed at the common group A-...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization and Phylogenetic Analysis of the G6 and G10 Genotypes of Bovine Rotaviruses from Iran
Background and Aims: Rotaviruses are the main cause of gastroenteritis in the young of human and a variety of animals in the world. Rotavirus G6 and G10 are the most prevalent genotypes in cattle worldwide, but are also found in human with possible origination from animals. Materials and Methods: In this work, we have detected the G6 and G10 genotypes of bovine rotaviruses isolated from di...
متن کاملMicro-organisms in outpatient infantile gastroenteritis.
This study reports the results of an examination of the stools of 58 infants with gastroenteritis who were seen as outpatients. The stools were examined by routine bacterial culture, and by electron microscopy for virus particles. The stools of a comparable control group of infants who had no gastrointestinal symptoms were also similarly examined. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, Salmonella s...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Latex Agglutination Method for Diagnosis of Rotavirus Infections
Background: Rotavirus is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children with gastroenteritis. Since the discovery of rotaviruses, several techniques have been used for their laboratory diagnosis; those included Electron Microscopy (EM) and enzyme immunoassay. These methods, however, are expensive and not readily available everywhere. We have developed a technique which can be used for ...
متن کاملFormation and selection of intergenogroup reassortants during cell culture adaptation of rotaviruses from dually infected subjects.
A previous study showed that intergenogroup reassortants of human rotaviruses can persist in nature (R.L. Ward, O. Nakagomi, D.R. Knowlton, M.M. McNeal, T. Nakagomi, J.D. Clemens, D.A. Sack, and G.M. Schiff, J. Virol. 64:3219-3225, 1990), but the mechanisms involved in their formation and selection had not been determined. In this study it was shown that, during cell culture adaptation of rotav...
