| Abstract |
|
This study was done with the 96 patients with watery diarrhea from Oct. to Nov. 1986.
ELISA study was done to detect Human Rota Virus antigen for all patients. Clinical and laboratory
comparision were made between HRV antigen positive group and HRV antigen negative group.
The results were as follows:
1) HRV antigen was detected in 62 patients (64.6%) among 96 patients of diarrhea or vomiting.
2) HRV antigen was detected in 59 patients (95.2%) under the age of 24 months.
3) Mean age of HRV positive patients was 12.7±3.4 months.
4) Mean duration of diarrhea was 6.3±1.9 days in HRV antigen positive group and 5.1 ±2.5 days in
non HRV group.
5) Vomiting (75.8%) 47cases, diarrhea (100%) 62 cases and dehydration (87.1%) 54 cases were noted
in HRV antigen positive group, Which was higher than in non HRV group.
6) Positive rate for HRV antigen was 41.3% in the breast fed and 58.7% in formula fed infants
below 13 months of age.
7) There were no differences in number of vomiting, diarrhea and duration of diarrhea and
hospitalization between two groups.
8) There were no differences in laboratory data except leukocytosis, which was prominent in HRV
antigen positive group. |
