“…From 2008 to 2010, epidemiological study of adenovirus diarrhea in Borazjan, Bushehr Province, Iran, showed a prevalence rate of 5.1% in children less than seven years of age with acute gastroenteritis. This result is comparable to the disease burden of adenovirus reported in other investigates in Iran and different countries which was shown to be responsible for 1.35 to 10.4% of all cases of gastroenteritis (Jarecki et al, 1993;Modarres et al, 2006;Ospino et al, 2008;Kamel et al, 2009;Hamkar et al, 2010;Moyo et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2011). We detected a relatively high rate of enteric adenovirus among infants and young children less than 2 years of age, which is in agreement with previous reports in Thailand (Herrmann et al, 1988), Iran (Modarres et al, 2006), Bangladesh (Dey et al, 2009a), Turkey ( Ozdemir et al, 2010) and India (Dey et al, 2011).…”

“…(Jarecki et al, 1993;Aminu et al, 2007;Kargar et al, 2011b;Rimoldi et al, 2011). Studies conducted in different regions of the world have indicated that enteric adenoviruses are responsible for 1.35 to 10.4% of the cases of acute gastroenteritis among infants and children <5 years of age (Ospino et al, 2008;Kamel et al, 2009;Simpore et al, 2009;Moyo et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2011). In Iran, very little data on illness caused by adenovirus has been collected.…”

Enteric adenoviruses are one of the most significant etiological agents of severe viral gastroenteritis among infants and young children worldwide. This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological features of enteric adenovirus gastroenteritis in hospitalized children less than 7 years of age in Borazjan, Bushehr Province, Iran. From October 2008 to September 2010, stool specimens from 375 children suffering from acute diarrhea were investigated for the presence of enteric adenoviruses using enzyme immunoassays (EIA). Demographic and clinical information were obtained through a standard questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS software. Out of the total collected samples, 5.1% were positive for enteric adenoviruses. Of the adenovirus episodes, 68.42% occurred during the first 2 years of life (P = 0.640). The highest prevalence of infection was identified in the spring (63.16%), followed by the autumn (21.05%), winter (10.53%) and summer (5.26%) seasons, respectively (P = 0.001). The most common clinical symptoms included diarrhea (84.21%), moderate dehydration (63.16%), fever (57.89%) and vomiting (42.10%). Overall, 69.23% of the children with acute gastroenteritis were not breast-fed and 23.08% were breastfeeding at the time of presentation of the adenovirus infection (P = 0.04). This study highlights the importance of enteric adenoviruses as an etiological agent of acute gastroenteritis, particularly among children less than 2 years old and during the cold seasons.

“…Rotavirus was isolated from 3.1% of cases. In some previous studies around the world, rotavirus was found as one of the most frequently detected enteropathogens, with high isolation rate as in Gaza, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Europe and South America [1] , [10] , [18] , [30] - [34] . These differences could be explained by the difference of the age groups that were investigated in each study and also the laboratory methods used such as ELISA or PCR techniques.…”

Gastroenteritis is considered as one of the leading causes of illness and death in children under 5 years age, especially in developing countries. It is one of the major public health problems among childhood in Gaza strip, Palestine. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of enteric pathogen-associated community gastroenteritis among kindergarten children in Gaza. A total of 150 stool samples were collected and investigated for parasitic, viral and bacterial pathogens at Al Azhar microbiology laboratories by using standard microbiological and serological procedures. Out of the 150 study samples, the overall percentage of positive stool samples with a known enteric pathogen was 60.6%. The prevalence of different enteric pathogens causing community gastroenteritis among symptomatic cases (88.5%) was significantly higher than the prevalence in asymptomatic carriage (11.1%). The most prevalent isolated enteric pathogens were Entamoeba histolytica (28.0%) and Giardia lamblia (26.7%). Rotavirus was found in 3.1% of symptomatic cases but not detected in asymptomatic carriage. However, adenovirus type 40 and 41 were not detected in any of the study samples. The bacterial enteric pathogens Shigella and Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC) have comparable occurrence as rotavirus (3.1%), meanwhile, Salmonella was not isolated. Mixed infection with more than 1 pathogen was found (11.4%) only among symptomatic cases. Children aged 3-year-old showed the highest prevalence of community gastroenteritis. This study demonstrates a high prevalence of parasitic enteropathogens and a relatively low prevalence of bacterial and viral enteropathogens among kindergarten children living in Gaza city, moreover, children aged 3 years old showed the highest prevalence of isolated enteropathogens.

Gastroenteritis is one of the leading causes of illness and death in children under five-years old, especially in devel oping countries. It is also one of the leading causes of deaths among this population in Gaza strip. This study conducted to determine the incidence of different enteric pathogens causing community gastroenteritis among kindergarten children in Gaza. One hundred and fifty stool samples were collected and investigated for parasitic, viral, and bacterial pathogens at Al Azhar microbiology laboratories using standard microbiological and serological procedures. Out of the 150 study population, the overall percentage of positive stool samples with a known enteric pathogen was 60.6%. The incidence of different enteric pathogens causing community gastroenteritis in diarrhea cases was significantly higher than in controls (88.5% versus 11.1%). The most prevalent enteric pathogens isolated were Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia (28%, 26.7% respectively). Rotavirus was found in 3.1% of cases but not detected in controls; adenovirus types 40 and 41 were not detected. The bacterial enteric pathogens Shigella and Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli 0157:H7 (EHEC) had similar rates as rotavirus (3.1%); no Salmonella was found. 7.4% of children had more than one pathogen detected. This study demonstrated a high percentage of parasitic enteropathogens and a relatively low percentage of bacterial and viral enteropathogens among kindergarten children. Children aged three had the highest incidence of isolated enteropathogens.
