| Abstract |
|
This study was taken to measure the serum aminotransferase level and it's correlation with clinical symptoms from Human Rotavirus gastroenteritis. This report is based on analysis of 434 patients who were admitted to the Pediatric department at Wonju Christian Hospital because of watery diarrhea and vomiting during 2-year period from July, 1991 to June 1993. The stool specimen on admission was tested for Rotavirus Ag by Rotazyme test. And then serum aminotransferase were checked.
The result are as follows:
1) Rotavirus Antigens were detected in 194 cases (44.7%) among total 434 patients with gastroenteritis
2) The number of patients with AST elevation above the normal value in RTZ+group was 126 cases(64.9%) and, in RTZ-group was 65 cases(27.0%).
3) The mean value of AST in RTZ+ group was 41.7U/L and, in RTZ-group was 31.1U/L. The mean value of AST between the two groups were significantly different.
4) The mean value of ALT and GGT in the two groups were not different.
5) The patients with AST elevation above normal level in the RTZ+group was significantly increased in frequency and duration of diarrhea than RTZ+ group with normal AST level. |
