“…Another finding concerns the prevalence of rotavirus infection in patients more than 3 years old, which was found to be stable in all age groups. This result indicates that symptomatic infections caused by rotavirus in children more than 3 years old and in adults are not rare, although subclinical infections may be the most common outcome (20). In our study, only 2 out of 45 controls were infected by a rotavirus, including 1 more than 65 years old.…”

“…Viral gastroenteritis is a common illness in humans of all age groups, with a high morbidity reported worldwide (20). Four types of viruses often have been considered the cause of this disease all over the world: group A rotaviruses, adenovirus types 40 and 41, astroviruses, and human caliciviruses, including Norwalk-like and Sapporo-like viruses (2,12,13,20).…”

However, it was not known to what extent community-acquired gastroenteritis was caused by these viruses, as most studies were conducted in hospitals and nursing homes or in the context of outbreaks.…”

Virus Diversity in a Winter Epidemic of Acute Diarrhea in France

In France, an epidemic peak of acute diarrhea is observed each winter. Previous results suggested a viral etiology for these winter epidemics. We investigated the role of enteric viruses in acute diarrhea and their molecular diversity. One hundred sixty-one patients with acute diarrhea and 45 healthy patients (controls) from the general population were given a standardized questionnaire between December 1998 and May 1999. Stool specimens were screened for group A and C rotaviruses, human caliciviruses, astroviruses, and adenovirus types 40 and 41 by reverse transcription-PCR and/or enzyme immunoassay. Virologic analysis was positive for 63 cases (39%). Caliciviruses and group A rotaviruses were the most frequent (19 and 17% of cases, respectively). Two control stool specimens were found positive for group A rotavirus, and one was found positive for astrovirus. Molecular characterization of the strains disclosed a cocirculation of P[8],G1, P[8],G4, and P[4],G2 rotaviruses; type 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 astroviruses; and Sapporo-like and Norwalk-like human caliciviruses. These four types of viruses accounted for an attributable risk of acute diarrhea of 34.7% for the general population, under the assumption of a causal role of these viruses.

A recombinant Norwalk virus antigen enzyme immunoassay (rNV EIA) for the detection fo Norwalk virus (NV) antibodies was evaluated using sera from volunteers and patients infected with Norwalk, Hawaii, Snow Mountain Agent, small round structured viruses (SRSV), and human calicivirus (HuCV) strains. The results for NV antibodies correlated well with previous results obtained using a NV radioimmunoassay. The test rNV EIA was found to be highly specific for NV. The results of tests on sera obtained from patients involved in confirmed outbreaks of SRSV in the UK showed that only 1/12 was due to Norwalk virus. Further evidence is presented that SRSV strain UK2 is antigenically related to NV.
