A Prospective Study of Rotavirus Infections in Neonatal and Maternity Wards

Abstract: The occurrence and symptomatology of rotavirus infections was studied at three maternity wards and one neonatal unit. Rotavirus was identified in 12.7% of 553 infants and 1.3% of 542 mothers at the maternity wards. Infections were more frequent in a mixed obstetric/gynecology ward than in the pure obstetric wards. Only 10% of the infants had symptomatic infections. Subgroups of rotavirus was determined in 41 infants: 22 of subgroup I and 19 of subgroup II, which is the subgroup accounting for the majority of c… Show more

“…Interestingly, rotavirus infections in humans were first detected in the 1970s. In newborns, they became an important issue following an outbreak in a neonatal care unit in mid-1970s242526). The contemporary, epidemic-like occurrence of 'fifth day fits' and rotavirus infection in newborns lent support to the suggestion of Herrmann et al15) However, the association between rotavirus and 'fifth day fits' has not been replicated.…”

“…L'incidence du portage du rotavirus est tr~s variable et peut ~.tre tr~s ~lev~e, atteignant parfois plus de la moiti~ des nouveau-n~s (4,5,6,28). Ce portage est le plus souvent end~mique (5,6,20,29) avec ou sans recrudescence hivernale (6,18,20) et semble favoris~ par une dur~e d'hospitalisation prolong~e (18,20,34) et par rabsence d'allaitement maternel. Les nouveau-n~s de la matemit~ semblent ~tre le principal r~servoir de rotavirus car les recherches virologiques sont habituellement n~gatives chez les m~res, le personnel et dans renvironnement inerte (5,18,34).…”
