Diversity of human rotavirus G9 among children in Turkey

Abstract: Between September 2004 and December 2005 a prospective study was conducted to understand the epidemiology of rotavirus infection among children with diarrhea attending two hospitals in Ankara, Turkey. Rotavirus was detected in 39.7% of the 322 stool samples and affected mainly children in the age group of 6-23 months. More than 70% and 39% of these cases occurred in children <2 and <1 year of age, respectively. In the temperate climate of Ankara rotavirus infection was prevalent throughout the year. Serotype G… Show more

“…Previous studies reported that 5.5% to 39.8% of Turkish children treated in hospital with acute gastroenteritis are hospitalized due to rotavirus infection [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. This finding together with the estimated 3,000 fatal cases annually [1] indicates the significant economic and societal burden of rotavirus disease in Turkey.…”

“…Fourth, we cannot exclude that we have failed to recognize some factors that might have affected the sample quality during collection, shipment, storage, preparation or the process of antigen detection EIA. Three recent papers presented rotavirus strain prevalence data from Turkey [16,18,20]. Kurugöl et al [16] reported the predominance of G1 rotaviruses followed by G4, G3, and G2 strains during a study in 2000-2001, while Cataloluk et al [18] demonstrated the dominating prevalence of G4 strains followed by G1 to G3, and G9 strains between 2000 and 2002, providing the first evidence for the circulation of the globally emerging G9 rotaviruses in Turkey.…”

“…Gastroenterite sebep olan diğer ajanlardan farklı olarak rotavirus olguları sosyoekonomik koşullara ve hijyen önlemlerine bağlı olmaksı-zın gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde aynı sıklıkta görülmektedir. Tedavi olanaklarının yetersiz olduğu gelişmekte olan ülkelerde mortaliteye, gelişmiş ülkelerde ise morbidite ve ekonomik kayıplara yol açmaktadır (6,13) . Rotavirüs çift sarmallı bir RNA virüsüdür.…”

“…Rotavirus üzerinde en fazla çalı-şılan viral gastroenterit etkeni olup ülkemiz ulusal aşı programında olmasa da hastanemizde aileler bilgilendirilerek ailelerin onayı doğrultusunda rotavirus aşısı uygulanmaktadır. Hastalarımızın tümüne rotavirus aşısı yapılmış olması nedeniyle ülkemizde yapı-lan çalışmalardan farklı olarak rotavirus oranın (% 3,6) düşük bulunduğu görüşünde-yiz (1,7,9,26) . Dünyada adenovirusa bağlı gastroenterit prevelansı % 3-17 arasında bildirilmektedir (6) .…”
