Objective:
To understand the infection and epidemiology of norovirus and rotavirus and enteral adenovirus among adult with sporadic viral gastroenteritis in Beijing and provide theoretical basis for clinical prevention and control.
Methods:
Stool specimens were collected from all 312 sporadic outpatient among adult with non-cholera watery diarrhea in Infectious Disease Department of Peking University People's Hospital 2005-2006. PAGE were used for detection of rotavirus RNA in stool specimens; R-Biopharm RIDASCREEN norovirus and RIDASCREEN adenovirus were used for detection of norovirus and adenovirus.
Results:
Rotavirus RNA was not present in all 312 stool specimens; Norovirus was present in 17.6% (22/125) and in 32.4% (11/34) in October; Adenovirus was present in 3.3% (3/92); Mixed infections of norovirus and adenovirus was present in 1 stool specimen.
