A one‐year virological survey of acute lntussusception in childhood

Abstract: A prospective study was carried out during 1 year in order to correlate intussusceptions in childhood with a viral infection. A virus was incriminated in 50% of the 64 patients in this survey. Adenovirus infections remain predominant as compared to rotavirus infections.

“…Subsequent studies, in Australia and France, using less sensitive methods for identifying rotavirus, found evidence of rotavirus in 8% and 9% of intussusception cases, respectively. 16,17 Because these studies lacked control groups, it was impossible to determine the risk of intussusception attributable to wild-type rotavirus infection, if any. Available data are insufficient to determine the role of wild-type rotavirus as a cause of intussusception.…”

“…Adenoviruses are an important cause of respiratory infection in infants and children and have been associated with a significant proportion of cases of IS (5,7,12,17). To discern the potential contribution of viral factors in the pathogenesis of IS, we studied the molecular epidemiology and genetic characterization of adenoviruses isolated from children with IS.…”

“…This observation was published by Konno, Suzuki, Kutsuzawa (my publication before 1982 was under the name of Kutsuzawa) et al in 1978 (34). However, two papers followed in 1982 reporting that only 8.3-9.3% of the cases with intussusception were associated with rotavirus infection (41,42). Both papers therefore failed to confirm the association between rotavirus infection and intussusception that we had observed.…”
